“And I can't tell you how important her job is. I mean, I've come to her all the time. She straightens things out. I mean, the things that she does here is a full-time job. There's two ways about it. And I'm embarrassed to say that we've addressed this one time, but I have a tendency to agree with the Mayor Pro Temp that she should be, like another employee with the steps, so we'd be able to compensate her way, but either way, I think we do need to raise her pay that is accurate to somebody in the city that has her same type of position in a way, and I agree 100%.

So I think we have to look at that.”

My daughter's new stepson was one of the graduates, Ryan Gallagher, and I tell you, I can't believe he, after the first day, but I mean, I can't believe it's the same gentleman after going through this.
