John Settle

You just don’t get the same bang for $100,000 that you once did.

Such is the case with the City of Shreveport and the compensation report prepared by a Chicago company, HUB.

The report used “multiple sources” to provide information on base pay, annual cash bonus, total cash compensation for job summaries evaluating the pay scales of Shreveport employees.

BUT

and it’s a BIG, BIG BUT

The high dollar report did NOT compare retirement benefits, holidays, and PTO that city employees enjoy when comparing overall salary packages.

GEEZ

That’s not apples to apples.
