Great Question? Where does all this money go? Surely it does not go to the CC. That would just make me sick. Since all they do is gamble and drink there CC pay anyway. And by the way, does anyone know how much the CC get paid a year? I heard it was around 40,000.00 a year. PLEASE GOD tell me this is untrue.

You are closer than you think !! :evil:

its 33,000 right?

There are cc seats up for election this time. Anyone living in those zones can run for office. It is a part time job with full benefits. I am sure PM would give u the time off to do both jobs.

I dont supose I can be a deputy and a CC at the same time, right? Im sure there would be some kind of "Conflict of interest" issues. Do the CC have day jobs? or have they all retired? or better yet, have they squandered thier retirement at the casino and throwing big wig partys and now they have to make up there loses with our gains? or maybe...just maybe.... they have no idea that we live on 400 to 500 bucks a week. I am ashamed to say this but i have never been to a CC meeting. I truely have no idea what they think or how they vote. I mean, what if they think "No news, is good news" and that we are livin' like pigs in slop. I have made a commitment to myself to attend the next few meetings. Someone out there PLEASE let me know if this is not a good idea at this time. I dont want to lose my job because I go to a CC meeting out of ignorance. oh and one more thing, These guys are pretty old dudes and you know the stories they tell about workin' all week for .36 and "By God when the goin' got tough, we got goin' ". That, I might add is a direct quote from my Grandfather, who I believe, purchased his first home for 1300.00. and at that time i beleive gas was... What? .15 cents a gallon. Maybe we are "Haglin'" we John Wayne and he truly is out of touch with inflation issues, insurance issues, Ect. OH Bump It, just show me the money!! I am ready to vote now!!! Heck, what have I got to lose....God Bless.

Yes all of the cc's have a real job. Which is why its only 30+k a year instead of the 80K++++ the other constitutional officers make. (Tax collector, Sheriff, Supervisor of elections) The county has several openings right now that pay 50k+ a year.

i beleive it is bad at OCSO, no doubt, at least your not with th City of Okeechobee

What is wrong with the City? I thought your department put a union in a year ago or something? Did they help you get a raise? I keep hearing things about your admin is never at work but I hear they don't mess with you because they could care less.
