commissioners can't find a way to cut the budget, but they know always where the treats are
vote the fat cats out
Former County Employee - 12 years ago
As an employee she has the ability to get a cell phone stipend and be reimbursed at the current IRS rate of 51 cents per mile. My question is why hasn't she? Is it because she figured that she would gamble and possibly get more in a 1 time bonus? Or does she not want her phone and vehicle usage as a public record as maybe an attempt to hide something.
Have to make you wonder as to what other deals are actually made on the 12th floor at 301 North Olive that aren't reported.

The money she is giving away is OUR MONEY the tax paying publics ! money. Were is the Palm Beach County Ethics Commission at ? why are they not looking at this move by our PBC Commission.

I just can't believe the total lack of common sense in our elected officials. No public employees should be getting a bonus now. If teachers, cops and fireman are not getting raises , why are administrative aides getting a bonus! A good question would be why they need 3 aides... so let me get this straight...Burdick needs an aide, that aide needs an aide and the aides aide needs an aide. "If a vacancy opens up on a commissioner’s staff, she can use the resulting savings to award bonuses to other aides." How about turning that money back into county funds, its not her money, its the TAX PAYERS MONEY!

As a County employee of 14 year I am appauled. I am currently doing the job of 3 people. Everytime a staff person is layed off or leaves positions are not getting filled. My current duties as a Procurment Specialist include not only purchasing but administrative duties as well, travel, agenda coord. shall I list them all? and HR tells me that I am not working out of class. I am going above and beyond, loaded with work, working out of class and no bonus for me or any of my other co workers working out of class going above and beyond the call of duty.... so what is so special about this Commissioners Aide???? Oh wait, Commissioner's Aide have always been special... up until a few years ago they were all recieving such bonuses... No one else in the county has had a raise in 4 years or a bonus.. I need a bonus for going above and beyond too... This story is typical of the culture of the county and its not going to change unfortunately.

This is no fault of the aides, they should get to keep the money, but deducted it from the commissioners pay...........

Is she out of her mind??? In today's state of affairs, with so many out of work, services cut to those who need it and she gives a bonus to someone who already makes above most doing the same job??? Palm Beach County needs to speak up on the next election, loud and clear!!!!!!!!! This is an outrage!!!!
