One Step Ahead

[ironjoesteel]

tea, if you notice (from your link http://www.communitypress.com/SpecialSection/WestSideProgress/CityofCincinnati.htm), the personnel making all the good money are:

City Manager, Public Health Physician, Medical Director, Council Member - Mayor, and the like.

You don't see policemen, firemen, or other personnel that put their lives on the line everyday. These people are not making $100k or even $70k a year.

I suppose I should clarify my statements: higher ranking individuals (even in the military -- generals for instance) make good money. However, those personnel who do the grunt work are paid in pennies. Now, don't misunderstand me, I didn't join the Army to make good money. No one should become a policeman, fireman, or the like thinking he/she will make good money. But is it not sad that the people we rely on daily to keep the country at peace or to rescue us in times of danger are the least paid and sometimes the least appreciated.
