You think someone is overpaid at $137k a year? You sound poor.HFNY said:He already gave City Union Employees 12 weeks time off if they have a newborn to secure their votes in November (cost of roughly $3 million) but this takes the cake. He also has a "Homeless Czar" making $137,000 in salary alone.

That's what, double of the national average? Then you factor in it's a government job so the benefits usually equal close to the salary.2001400ex said:

Spending four times the national average on a job that doesn't need to exist is overpayment. -
Depends on what they're doing. IMO, that's way too much for a parasitic city government tool, especially since I'm sure that most of that salary will follow him/her/whatever the proper pronoun of the day is, in the form of a pension until death. But if the people of Seattle are okay with it, more power to them, they're free to burn as much money as they want. If enough rational people decide to LEAVE then maybe the city will have to curb its spending, or not, city government defaults aren't a new thing.2001400ex said:

It's what liberals do!

He might be overstating the benefits but the mean average pay in Seattle was $29.33/hr in May of 2015. Without factoring in overtime pay, that's about $60,500/year. So yes, $137k with better benefits for a homeless welfare management position is being overpaid.2001400ex said:

So you are saying the average Boeing worker making $29 an hour has no benefits and the person at he city has $137k a year in benefits? Um no. Their benefits packages are comparable.greenblood said:

I don't know the person, if they are a slacker then you can bitch about it. But $137k isn't an absurd amount of money for a qualified person. In a city where kids fresh out of college make $100k in IT. -
Seattle is one the most fiscally strong cities in the country. It's bond rating is AAA. It is not defaulting on any obligation now or in the future. It's citizens, some of the most highly educated and successful people in the world, are free to spend tax dollars however they choose.

If you raise my taxes Special Ed can you, at least, run the bums in tents and RV's out of town? This is getting to be re-god-damned-diculous and I'm saying this as someone who is somewhat liberal minded in terms of the welfare state.

He's not proposing raising taxes to run bums out, now is he? @HFNY stated the obvious, this will encourage more to move in, and I'm fine with that.YellowSnow said:If you raise my taxes Special Ed can you, at least, run the bums in tents and RV's out of town?

I meant it more in a qui pro quo type of deal- i.e., I am ok with a tax hike if I don't have to look at bums defiling out beautiful city. But your observation "If you build it, they will come" is accurate.Southerndawg said:

But you make a good point. People choose to live in Seattle knowing full well what the story is -
The homeless problem is a massive shit stain that is smeared all over Seattle. It pisses me off to no end and ruins some of the allure of working downtown. Right now this is my #1 problem with Seattle and I'm not sure if it can even be fixed at a local level.
I'm fine paying this guy $137k to be the face of trying to fix this problem. What if his solution is to start cutting benefits? What if he wants to boot out non-resident homeless? If he actually does something that improves the situation then I would be ecstatic. If he doesn't deliver results then hopefully he gets his shit pushed in by the newspapers and canned by the mayor. Part of the reason that this guy is paid over $100k is that he is fair game for public criticism and can be a scapegoat for the mayor. -
I lived in a third floor walk up on 4th and Vine in 1984 and 5. It appears the poor and homeless will indeed be with us always.
It's a fine line between compassion and encouragement and for 137K a year I will tell you how to walk that line.
Red is right - this guy is going to get blistered either way -
I don't live in Seattle, otherwise my grammar would be perfect. I can't quote worth shit either. I do have a moral superiority complex which is nice.RaceBannon said:

But you make a good point. People choose to live in Seattle knowing full well what the story is -
Bums have been "defiling" the city for ever. Skid row/road literally refers to Yesler Way (Mill Street in the day) in Seattle. Long after that designation and not that long ago, First Avenue from "north" of Pike to south of Pioneer Square remained a string of pawn shops, "adult" shops, grease pit cafes, and bath houses, a street lined with bums, drug addicts and prostitutes. Even today, with that area and others much cleaner, among the first things I hear from people who visit the city is surprise regarding the homeless population. It is remarkable, and not in a good way.YellowSnow said:

Seattle is a beautiful city, it always has been in my opinion, albeit a bit rougher around the edges not long ago. But it has always had serious warts, and still does. Raising taxes will transfer more power to city government, will transfer some modicum of "wealth" to the homeless and in doing so might make some feel better about themselves whilst concurrently pissing others off over wasted money, but it won't solve those problems. -
@Southerndawg is dialed in ...
No problem with wanting to fix and improve the homeless situation ... and if that took short-term tax dollars to do so then whatever ...
But we all know that nothing will be done and instead what will happen is enablement and the moving in of even more homeless looking to "cash in" on the free lunch. -

Nope. Not gonna happen. Homelessness industry is too big, employing too many people who will eventually move into a City job and onto the City's payroll, to be replaced by new college grads at their old advocacy organization employers. The die is cast and the script was written in the 70's. The bigger Seattle gets, the faster the cycle accelerates.YellowSnow said:If you raise my taxes Special Ed can you, at least, run the bums in tents and RV's out of town?

Pardon me: What the fuck are you rambling about?CirrhosisDawg said:
Because seatttle likes to bail out rich white people when it has no need to? And everrett and charleston sc are comparable. And none of them have ever defaulted on anything? Great argument. Go supersonics!TurdBuffer said:

This is exactly what Everett used to say. Then Chicago HQ. Then blackmail of state gov't for tax concessions. Then Charleston.CirrhosisDawg said:
Seattle is one the most fiscally strong cities in the country. It's bond rating is AAA. It is not defaulting on any obligation now or in the future. It's citizens, some of the most highly educated and successful people in the world, are free to spend tax dollars however they choose.

Depends on what they're doing. IMO, that's way too much for a parasitic city government tool, especially since I'm sure that most of that salary will follow him/her/whatever the proper pronoun of the day is, in the form of a pension until death. But if the people of Seattle are okay with it, more power to them, they're free to burn as much money as they want. If enough rational people decide to LEAVE then maybe the city will have to curb its spending, or not, city government defaults aren't a new thing.2001400ex said:
