While unemployment continues to rise and the economy continues to limp along, Robbinsville town council has decided that this would be a good time to raise their salaries. Township Engineer/Business Administrator Tim McGough will be paid $155,000 for his role, however while Mr. McGough fills both positions, their separate salaries have been proposed at $116,000 for engineer and $99,000 for business administrator for a combined total of $215,000. It’s unknown as to why separate salaries have been proposed since one person is filling both positions.

If the proposed ordinance goes into effect, the following salary increases would be:

• Police Chief Martin Masseroni: $123,000 up from $120,000 (+2.5%)
• Public Works Director Dino Colarocco: $92,000 up from $87,000 (up from $84,000 the previous year – a 9.5% increase)
• Chief Financial Officer Debra Bauer: $78,00 up from $83,000 (up from $76,000 the previous year – a 9.2% increase)
• Municipal Clerk Michele Auletta: $81,000 up from $79,000 (+2.5%)

While our property taxes continue to skyrocket, the town council feel that they are entitled to larger and larger salaries. Does this seem right?
