| LOUCKS SAYS NO TO RAISE |
|
WENGNews writes, "CHARLOTTE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BRUCE LOUCKS, WHO HAS COME UNDER FIRE BY CERTAIN COMMISSIONERS RECENTLY, HAS DECIDED NOT TO TAKE THE RAISE COMMISSIONERS APPROVED FOR HIM IN JANUARY. LOUCKS WAS REHIRED WITH AN OVERALL SATISFACTORY REVIEW, ALTHOUGH COMMISSIONERS TRICIA DUFFY AND DICK LOFTUS HAVE SPOKEN OUT ABOUT HIS JOB PERFORMANCE. HE TOLD THE SUN THAT THE FOCUS NEEDS TO BE ON THE BUDGET ISSUES, AND THE RAISE HAD BECOME A DISTRACTION. LOUCKS WAS TO GET A RAISE OF A LITTLE MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT OF HIS SALARY, OR NEARLY NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS. LOUCKS WILL STILL MAKE OVER $165,000 DOLLARS A YEAR. COMMISSIONER TOM D’APRILE TOLD THE SUN THAT LOUCKS SHOWED COMPASSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE PLIGHT THAT WE’RE IN, AND SEEING THE ECONOMY BEING WHAT IT WAS, HE CERTAINLY COULD LIVE WITHOUT THAT RAISE FOR ONE YEAR.
