Fraasch and commission compensation

At the 01:09 timestamp, Kelly Fraasch made her case and pressed on for a public hearing and commission vote for commission stipend increase. She mentioned that she brought this up on a local blog (not this one) and gained support for this issue. She feels that by raising the stipend, it would invite more diversity and encourage single moms and economically challenged residents to run.



Just an FYI, I ran as a single mom who, at the time, had NO income. I had a low budget campaign too. I also interviewed for Kristen Linfante's vacant seat a few years later, and not once considered the stipend as a game changer. I also run this blog at no cost to taxpayers, which is my choice.

Steve Silverman tried to move on to the next agenda topics, which were time sensitive, but Kelly insisted that the issue of commission compensation be brought to a vote at the next commission meeting. What a waste of time.
