Happy holiday pay

Did you know that last November or so, the Borough announced it was changing how it paid police officers’ holiday pay?

Did you know that apparently someone in the Borough administration thinks that the Borough had been overpaying holidays?

Did you know that the police association has filed a grievance on this issue? (Not too surprising, is it?)

If the Borough is wrong, do you have any idea about how much more the Borough will have to pay the police officers?

If the Borough is right, do you have any idea how long it had been paying incorrectly, how much was paid incorrectly, and what plans there are to recover the overpayments?

It’s only our Borough, it’s only our police force, and it’s only our money–why should our Borough government tell us about it?

I did not know that. Another example of "fuzzy math"?
Mr. B, wasn't there talk of some kind of incentive system or "bonus pay" for borough employees - including management. Did that ever find it's way into the budget owned by council president Messina.
