While this is decent information, it is of limited use. Without knowing the actual hours of overtime, it's impossible to compare to other cities and/or industries.

What I think would be more useful would be the base pay of, say, a rookie officer/fireperson, a 5 year and a 20 year. Much easier to compare apples to apples that way.

Perhaps New Albany and Floyd County could pass e-transparency legislation, like Louisville just did.

Just a heads up Mayor England will be on State of Affairs on 89.3 today at 1!

If I pledge, will they keep him?

Listening to England, Galligan and Isgrigg, wondering if they carpooled to WFPL studios. Did they ride TARC?

I'm sure Mr. England had his personal valet, Carl, drive him over...

i still would like to know how the fire department is allowed to age discriminate, by hiding behind the "prf" <---spell?...

at 38, i can run circles around the kiddos trying out for the fire department, have 8 years of damage control experience via the navy and a bachelors degree and yet, they tell me i'm too old due to this pension document they hide behind.

they do the same over in Jeff too.

so tell me how that's legal?
