What these former and current council members as well as their groupies want you to believe is: People voting yes on these initiatives are jealous. These initiatives will lower police protection. These initiatives will damage Murrieta's ability to compete. There is something wrong with these messages especially when you consider the source. Biased council members and their close allies. First the "jealousy" issue: this is a stretch. Voters are not jealous! They are tired of being ripped off by excessive public employee compensations. Everyone has read the stories from Bell, San Diego, San Marcos, and La Verne, well Murrieta is no different. Second is the public safety issue. So we are suppose to believe that the police on the street will perform their jobs less effectively because their bosses got a pay cut while the street police didn't. This makes no sense at all. Lastly the council acts like they will not find qualified people to work for mid 100k salaries. In the real world there are plenty of qualified people at this salary range. Should we listen to biased sources aka current and former council members with their pro status quo bias or should we follow common sense and reduce over paid management salaries and restrain council perks. VOTE YES CDE Do not listen to the council propaganda.
