Bad timing for pay raise

by Bill Winter in a letter to the Ventura County Star

Re: your July 22 article, "City Council gives itself 133% raise":

With the recent pay increase, that many residents felt the Oxnard City Council deserved, it struck me that, for the past 19 years, Mayor Manny Lopez has been a fixture and faithful council member. I also noted that Mayor Lopez, along with Councilman John Zaragoza, both voted against the increase.

The biggest negative of the pay issue was not the striking 133 percent increase, but that of appearance. With the state and county making hard budget cuts, here is Oxnard doing the opposite. Oxnard increases its utility fees, double-taxes its downtown property owners, assesses homeowners for bushes along the road and now this: extra money out the till for next year's council members.

It also strikes me that Bedford Pinkard, who is pushing to have his spouse take over his seat, in essence will benefit from the pay raise if his wife wins election.

Criticizing The Star from the council side will not change the overall effect of what the Oxnard City Council did. It is all a matter of appearance. So, when the council next asks the citizens of Oxnard to pay out more taxes, fees or assessments for whatever pea-brained project the council proposes, we may do well to come back to them at public comment and remind them of their pay raise and ask them for 133 percent better service to the city of Oxnard.

[Winter is a mayoral candidate for Oxnard]
