        $100k to $150k in NYC isn't a ridiculous salary. If they want to keep good people and not lose them to the private sector they need to pay them well. - Krusty Feb 4, 06:52
        
        Though I understand your concern is more with the process and the (lack of) checks and balances inherent to the process. -- nm - ty97 Feb 4, 06:32 1
        
        Right. The salaries aren't obscene at all but it's that they decide and vote on their own raise where I take issue. -- nm - Krusty Feb 4, 06:38

        I will owe state/local (combined form, I really only owe state) a little which annoys me. - ty97 Feb 4, 06:35 1
