Well, in an effort to be more positive in 2021, I will say this:

At least the Hamilton County Commission is now circulating its pay raise end-around proposal through an email from the county attorney rather than the petition “randomly” placed in their break room a few years ago. At least there’s a record of this one, right?

Yay, for progress in transparency.

The soundbites are laughable, gang, as the folks who have the nine votes that matter on the $700 million-plus budget of Hamilton County are posturing to side-step and wiggle around state law so they can vote on potential future salaries and pay increases.

Buckets, where do we start?
