Secret Salaries Update
Several members of the Sandy City Council are demanding a review of the city's bonus system following The Tribune's Sunday report that senior executives were reaping rich and repetitive rewards under the program.
Under the direction of Sandy's top brass, the city's attorneys spent tens of thousands of dollars fighting a legal battle to keep the program secret, much to the dismay of community activist Robyn Bagley.
"It disturbs me that Sandy fought for so long," she said. "These are government salaries that are funded by taxpayers. Transparency is critical."
Meanwhile, Tricia Beck, a longtime Mayor Dolan critic and political opponent, told KSL-TV the recently-exposed bonus program "is an example of greed, arrogance and entitlement."
KSL also hosted a conversation on the issue as part of its "Talking Point" segment on Monday evening.

FOIA requests are always difficult when corruption by trusted public officials can be uncovered. I've tried getting information from the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights and the USOE. With that documentation, I'd be able to prove corruption in the Jordan School District. Sure, the district was exhonerated ... they lied so they'd be let off the proverbial hook (proveable with their own documentation). Not that the investigations were completed properly ... the OCR attorney and the state compliance officer both missed the fact that Nassau County Board of Education V. Arline is not an appropriate case on which to build IEPs.
1. It was lost
2. It was a job discrimination action.
3. It had to do with significant public health risk from exposure to infectious tuberculosis (the latest information does nor list autrism as being an infectious disease)
4. The Justices admonished NCBoEd for their archaeic attitudes toward people with disabilities.
The difference being that education is a sacred cow and politicians are not. My concern is that the corruption is happening at the expense of our most vulnerable children.
