LETS NOT FORGET THE SCHWAB HOUSE USED TO INDUCE MR. SCHWAB TO LIVE IN GRAND TERRACE, WHICH NOW HAS DOUBLED IN VALUE.

Increase the wages of the city employees earning less than $50,000.00 per year, and who do not have as INDUCEMENT other city provided perks such as a HOUSE, CRA INTEREST FREE LOANS, or Co-Payment Reimbursed Medical/Dental/and Vision expenses, birthday Gifts, Private Parties, and Trips on the City's Dime.

Give raises to the Employees who work at the Child Care Center, and Parks, and City maintenance Crews. If there are any additional funds available, Hire a Youth Mentor to supervise Youth Programs at Rollings Park after school, Tables for Tutoring or some other program to aid the youth, perhaps even a portable hoop, and an after school concession/mentoring stand for after school hours.

But DO NOT give a raise to the folks or STAFF in the Office of City Hall. If they want big city Pay, let them go work for a BIG CITY !!!
