When former Mayor Kilsheimer hired that visioning bunch to get the city center started, I thought it was overdo, and too costly, but when I look at this new department Becker shoved down everyone's throats, at least the previous visioning bunch had a set price, but this is nightmare, that will include six figure salaries, with annual 6 percent annual raises that accrue each year, with each new EDD member a healthcare cost of about $ 8200 dollars or so a year the city will have to pay for each, plus what the city's share of their paid-in pension costs are, costs of their workman comp. insurance, sick time, vacation, vehicle use, and God knows what else, their other perks and benefits. Real smart Becker, all to satisfy your inflated ego! Plus figure in the constantly rising inflation, oh and COL monies too, that also accrue. It will help drive up all the city residents' property taxes, but at least Commissioner Velazquez won't have to pay any ad valorum taxes on her home, each year, so she could care less about Apopka resident's increasing property taxes, if the council members keep voting in unnecessary crap!
