Reaction to License Plate!

I was driving from Richmond, Va., to Columbia, S.C. and stopped somewhere in North Carolina for a sandwich. As I pulled into Wendy’s, a man in military fatigues pulled in next to my car.

As we left our cars, he spotted my Virginia license plate: MR HYPNO

He asked, “You do that?”

“Yep, sure do.”

“Well, don’t hypnotize me,” he said.

“I already did,” I replied. “You’re going into that restaurant and will buy some food.”

Oh really? Then could you PLEASE hypno Sager, Webster, D200, and the other high-tax junkies of Woodstock into believing in sound and honest governance?? Just for a awhile?? Our hard earned income is thier hill-billy heroin. We earn it, they get the sweats waiting to take it -- and waste it away....I agree with that other commenter: Woodstock has the highest RE tax rates in the entire US. How is this possible??? We get NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING in return. They can't even get my kids to or from school in a safe and timely manner over the last few weeks....and then city council says "f-you" to those brutalized by poop invading their homes b/c this city couldn't build an erector set, let alone a safe sanitary system......and this is only the tip of the iceberg. We need a change in local government!!

Not really. I mean, you could contact the Human Resources Dept and ask, however they won't tell you straight out.

There is a website www.salary.com you can try. You basically input the information you are looking for (ie: # of employees, job title, location, etc...)and it gives you a, I guess... an "answer" a.k.a. salary for that particular position.

The compensation of public employees should be available. You won't be able to learn how much a certain employee earns, but you should be able to find out the compensation for that employment position. The City Human Resources Department should accommodate you. If they don't, file a FOIA Request.

The whole City's budget is available at the public library. It gives you a break down of directors salaries and certain employees. The streets dept. is all grouped together, but most of the salaries are seperated. The City Manager makes $160,000!!!!!

Dude,
If you live in Woodtock and pay local taxes why do you still have VA liscense plates?

Good point about my license plates. Maybe I should put the Virginia plates back on my car, and some might think I had left town. Thanks for asking, but I bought Illinois plates shortly after I moved here in 1996. However, I did not pay the outrageous demand for a personalized plate. This state really sticks it to those who want custom plates.
