Remember how generous Cameron County Pct. 4 commissioner Dan Sanchez when the court was tweaking the budget back in 2012 and a majority of the commissioners voted to go along with him and grant County Clerk Joe Rivera and District Clerk Aurora De la Garza a raise at his expense?
Rivera and De la Garza complained that the raise would get them closer at salary parity with County Tax Assessor-Collector Tony Yzaguirre.
The commissioners court then approved increases of $2,855 each only for De la Garza and Rivera.Sanchez said that he voted for the proposal in order to get De la Garza's and Rivera's $78,105 salaries as close as possible to the $86,690 salary that is paid to Tax Assessor-Collector Tony Yzaguirre.
The increase granted the two from Sanchez's salary line item brought their compensation to $80,960.
The collector's compensation was $85,690.
Once
approved, Sanchez's salary was lowered to $42,462 plus $960 for a phone
allowance to total $43,423. The other three commissioners earned
salaries ranging from $47,173 (Pct 1's Sofia Benavides), $48,133 (Pct.
2's Alex Dominguez), and $48,133 (Pct. 3)'s David Garza. Benavides
turned down the $960 phone allowance.
County Judge
Carlos Cascos earns $64,042, no phone allowance, and $5,400 for his
service on the county's Juvenile Board to total $69,462.
This
year, the commissioners were considering passing a $1,000 increase for
all elected officials, but rejected it because of a tight budget and
the fact that there would be no pay raises county employees.
The vote was 4 to 1 to give Sanchez the raise with only county judge Carlos Cascos voting against.
With
the four county commissioners voting to raise Sanchez and all county
commissioners to $48,173, the only county employee to receive a raise
was Sanchez whose salary will be increased by $5,710 to $48,173.
"No
one else is getting a raise but Dan Sanchez", said a county employee
who attended the hearing where commissioners voted to restore his salary
to match the rest of the commissioners court. "He's getting back what
he gave up in the 2013 budget."
However, the county
will now have to continue to pay the county clerks at the rate that
they reached when Sanchez chipped in the $5,700 from his pay. So despite
the fact that Sanchez is no longer paying for the duo's raise ,
taxpayers will continue them at the higher rate as a result of the Pct. 3
commissioner from now on.
All together: "Thank you, Commissioner Dan Sanchez!"

Is that Orca taking a siesta ? No, it's a county employee .
Cerdo de mierda!
The size of that fucking dude!
Dags.
I'm surprised to learn how low the salaries are. For some reason, I thought they were mostly in the 50's to 90's range. I guess Mr. Cascos is a true conservative. That's a compliment Mr. Cascos.
WHAT A FAT ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Caicos is a true-blue Conservative. He plans to reduce his salary by $20,000 and give the money to the poor. ,,,
He is the poster boy for Garcia Cambodia.
Arriba Garcia Cambodia. It was discovered by Da Mayor disguised as a belly-bottom surgeon ; designed to get ugly slugs a-moving. For his great discovery, he was awarded the Aunt Jemima Plaque. A great honor indeed.
