Regarding Prop 413 results, in the interest of clear communication, if you are going to mention the size of the proposed raises for the Tucson mayor and her council members, you should also mention how long it has been since these public officials received any raise at all. In addition, readers should also be told what these salaries would be if they included only increases in the cost of living since that last raise. City leaders, like teachers, are not motivated to do the work for the paycheck, but they should not be penalized for their caring and commitment.

I had no idea that the Tucson Agenda writers felt so supportive of being underpaid. I should have waited before buying a subscription.
