I believe it’s a more apt statement to say that most people don’t know who ALL has been promised WHAT under similar circumstances…nor just how wasteful taxpayer dollars have been spent in Hardin by the powers-that-be.

But the day is coming—and probably soon—wherein everybody is going to find out.

Clearly, you don’t know these workers.

Are the employees not in a union? If not, did they have to go to the labor board to try and get money owed? If the workers and city or county officials did sign a binding contract in 2006 it should read what percentage their pay will increase and what date on each year of the contract they would receive said raise.Are they still working under the 2006 contract? A six year contract is a rare thing today.Pay the workers what they are owed and move on.As for the christmas money,that may be lost if it is a bonus and not in the contract.Especially if they vote on the bonus yearly. I do not know the workers,but they must know the meaning of the word work as they have been doing their job,just not getting the pay owed.I bet they will,with interest.When the labor board says pay them money owed,how the Mayor got his home wont even matter.Good luck to the workers,and we will watch Disclosure on your progress.

Wonder why pay is being withheld? Could it be these said workers might not really know the meaning of “work”?

I think that however Mayor Bertis Cook, (notice the correct spelling), inherited his home is no one’s business.

…he workers should be paid immediately, and the amount owed them should include interest for the time it’s been withheld and be grossed up for tax purposes…I bet they know how much they are owed, but if not, there’s a bean countin’ lawyer around somewhere who can figure it out for them…as to additional penalties, the pay of the city elders should be diverted to cover those…
