The information presented is not a raise, but rather appears
to be a change in Grade which gives a change in salary range."<
Jonathon, that is a whole bunch of dust thrown up and spin to call something by another name. Heck, perhaps they deserve it, but somebody will be making $30,000 more, what ever you call it. What exactly you mean by "IS" is not our question, and IS not what Booker was saying.
In the real world if you get $30,000 dollars more in your pay check for doing the same job it IS called a raise. You can argue with Booker, but you can't argue with mathematics! No matter how you explain cellular content you can't make a baloney sandwich into a porterhouse steak and sell it. That old dog just won't hunt in these woods.
There really IS a difference between Beef and Bull! One comes out as steak the other as baloney. Now I might like a little baloney sandwich now and then, BUT PLEASE do not tell this old country boy it IS a porterhouse. Let's stop the bull and say they are getting a raise of $30,000 dollars and justify it if you can. If they are doing such a good job then simply show it and be done. The real world understands that. But please no more bull, our political cholesterol levels are already too high in this City.
It is like telling North Minneapolis residents around 26th and Knox that statistics for the City of Minneapolis say there is no crime problem, and they don't need more police officers. Here comes that Bulloney sandwich again!
