This is what happens to compensations when the residents no longer are in control of their own town governments. I'll bet 3 out of 4 residents had no idea of the presnt salary levels. When you hand a Town Adminstrator the keys to the cash box, what would you expect? I'll bet he doesn't even live in Dover.... I mean Derry!

Guys:

Welcome to charters where the enlightened ones make the decisions.

Remember how The Center For Public Policy Studies was trying to sell charters instead of Senate Bill 2?

They bring big government and "professional" management.

Somewhere along the line, the phrase "community service" that these "professionals" so often wear on their sleeve as a "noble badge of honor" that justify's their every demand, has lost its true meaning and now rings hollow.

We pay Catholic school tuition to send our 4 kids to an out-of-town school. These salaries are a complete joke! I continue to ask this question: Where is the outrage in this sleepy town we call Derry??!!!
