County positions receive raise, good marks

Submitted by WWAY on Tue, 11/11/2008 - 6:12pm.READ MORE:
The New Hanover County attorney, manager and clerk all received rave performance reviews Monday, but they won't reap financial benefits. The annual employee evaluations usually come with a substantial raise, but due to tough economic times, attorney Wanda Copley, manager Bruce Shell, and clerk Sheila Schult only received 2% as opposed to the usual 5%. County Commissioner Bill Caster said that is what all the other employees got and it is only fair they all be treated equal.

Please pardon me if I don't get so impressed as to stand up and cheer for these poor neglected employees. If the county is so strapped for money, why doesn't the county manager exercise sound leadership and forego his raise, since the colossal blunder with the budget occurred on HIS watch?

County Employee's received a 2% raise? I believe they were told there was no raise for them and that they would get a possible 2% cost of living, but that won't possibly be until Jan 09. So were they treated fairly?
