Republican County Commissioners Cut Common Construction Wage by 40%: Act Now

Is there no doubt that the Tea Party controlled Harrison County Board of Commissioners is the worst group we have ever had in our county? There is none now. They treat county employees as bad as they can, went to inferior road repairs (which they abandoned right before the election), did not properly plow snow from county roads or mow them, and did everything they could to enact a radical agenda.

Now, they are going for the pocketbook. Wages on construction projects will be lowered 40% due to their actions. These are projects that hard working Harrison County people depend on for a good standard of living. Now they will take a 40% hit. We will now have cheap labor (which we know involves illegals in some cases) flood into the county for projects. You get what you pay for. Would you want to go into one of these finished projects? We think not.

Another thing is kind of funny that all three Commissioners have either spouses, children, or siblings on federal or county payrolls. Have they asked their wife at the Post Office to take a 40% cut? They have their stuff, but to hell with everybody else.

The next Harrison County Commissioner meeting is Monday, October 6 at 8:30 AM at the Government Center. Go there and let them know your thoughts on what they have done. Maybe suggest they all take 40% pay cuts in their County Commissioner pay.

One bad thing is that only one County Commissioner is up for reelection this year- Jim Klinstiver, who voted for this Tea Party act. Let's vote him out in November, and work on voting out the other two in 2016. All three of them are part of the party of low wages. Remember in November!
