The town councilor in Presque Isle is making 120k in the 2023 budget.

He says all wage increases are based on data from the private sector.

So the standard set for a high paying job is 120k, I want that to be clear.

so we're basing our opinions on the unconfirmed justifications of a small-town councilor giving himself $120K?

Unconfirmed?

Look at your own budgets ffs. Haha

It's Aroostook county, it receives government funds just for being undeveloped. It also receives funds for it's "crisis". Those funds are misappropriated everywhere, and it's ignorance to that, that has created this economy.

Presque Isle is a hub of the county up north. The budget is available online.

No, I'm saying his justifications for his salary are unconfirmed. "Private sector data" doesn't sound very convincing.

Bused up labor, ACAP housing funds were used up since they were paying landlords to house them.left no money for people who live here, and can't actually afford to do so cause of raising rates. They call it a "crisis" but it's manufactured.
