Yup.The back-pay thing makes me mad. The people that went to work...unpaid....yes, I agree they should get back-pay. The folks that sat at home and did nothing. No. They should not get back-pay.
If you think about it, back-pay for those who sat at home is the same as using our tax dollars to give "non-essential" people a 35 day paid vacation.
furthermore, if you think about it, we just survived a month without these non-essential people working. I think we could cut those budgets next year by at least 1/12th (8%). That would be a huge savings, and apparently virtually no impact to the county.
So, they should have been working like the others.
