INFO FROM COMMISSIONERS OFFICE AND GRIM

STATE TREASURER JIM HILL GETS $70,900, DEALS IN TENS OF BILLIONS AND SERVES ON MANY HIGH PRESSURE STATE BOARDS AND WITH LESS BENEFITS.

I THINK GRIM’S SALARY IS OUTRAGEOUS! HE SAID HE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY OF IT! SOUND FAMILIAR?

THE COMMISSIONER HAVE INCREASED "PAY OR PLAY" FROM 3 TO 5 WEEKS. SINCE OFFICIALS TAKE OFF TIME AT WILL, THIS IS JUST ANOTHER DISGUISED BONUS.

THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY STATEMENTS ABOUT THE SALARY
COMPENSATION BOARD SETTING SALARIES. THEY RECOMMEND, THE COMMISSIONERS SET!

ORS 204.112(2) AND ORS. 204.116

VOTE FOR BAHR, HE CAN AND WILL DO THE JOB FOR

$45,000.
