Concerned TaxPayers of Duval County » salary raises jacksonville city employees http://www.jaxtaxpayers.org The leading group in the fight against waste, fraud, corruption, inefficiency, wrongdoing, and tomfoolery at Jacksonville City Hall Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:24:47 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= Where Is My Raise? http://www.jaxtaxpayers.org/where-is-my-raise/ http://www.jaxtaxpayers.org/where-is-my-raise/#comments Thu, 20 Aug 2009 01:48:02 +0000 curtis http://www.jaxtaxpayers.org/?p=327 The Florida Times Union today released a database of 2008-2009 raises for Jacksonville City employees.  It is quite revealing to say the least.  The largest raise was for Manager of Accounting Services-Grants Devin Carter who received a whopping 87.16 percent raise – a $29,574 difference in salary from 2008 to 2009!   I certainly know that I did not receive a double digit raise for 2009.  I doubt that many Jacksonville taxpayers did too especially in this economy.

I accept that some of the salary increase may have been due to new bachelors degrees which led to promotions or something similar to this.  Clearly, this could be a legitimate recognition of the improved skill set brought about through higher education. However, 586 employees out of 8,116 – about 7 percent of the city workforce – received raises of 10 percent or more. Clearly, this has to be explained before we taxpayers will accept a 12 percent tax increase
