MR. SAYRE: I forgot you set salaries.
|
|
2
|
MR. GOLDSTE1N: Yes. We have to get the
|
|
3
|
recommendations as to their deputies and regular employees.
|
|
4
|
What we have done since I became Comptroller, we have
|
|
5
|
established a system of salaries based on what the State
|
|
6
|
employees receive for equal responsibilities, with the
|
|
7
|
thought in mind, equal pay for equal work with a system
|
|
8
|
of increments, like we have for State employees. First,
|
|
9
|
they rebelled. It wouldn't work. We said, Try it for a
|
|
10
|
year. After a while they said it was a wonderful system.
|
|
11
|
Why didn't we do it before. It worked out pretty good.
|
|
12
|
MR. HOFF: They get more money than ever
|
|
13
|
before.
|
|
14
|
MR. GOLDSTEIN: They are doing more efficient
|
|
15
|
work. Take your Clerk's office, Register of Wills , where
|
|
16
|
you practice in Howard County. Is it more efficient?
|
|
17
|
MR. HOFF: Yes.
|
|
18
|
MR. GOLDSTEIN: Go in 23 Counties. They have
|
|
19
|
a modern setup. It is being improved. It is better than
|
|
20
|
eight years. The wheel squeaks, and it has to be greased.

THE CHAIRMAN: Isn't that still true, Louie?
