Getting a raise is usually something to celebrate.
Unless you happen to be a Manatee County commissioner.
That $272 bump they just got from the state?
They must wish it never happened.
That goes for Carol Whitmore.
Other county commissioners, too.
Given the economic straits their constituents have endured the past several years, it isn’t right.
Not with double-digit unemployment in our community.
Many of those who do have jobs probably can’t remember their last raise.
They’re just glad to still be working.
Our teachers must be shaking their heads.
Or considering running for county commission.
Seventy-five thou for a part-time gig?
