The National City City Council is divided over how much money each part-time councilmember should have as part of their district budget.
“It is disappointing that our mayor is responding in such a manner on this particular issue,” Councilmember Jose Rodriguez countered before Monday's budget meeting.“We all have jobs outside of this and we do need help to better service our community,” said Rodriguez. “The job expectation is full-time. The pay is certainly not. So, we all need to make ends meet.”
Morrison said the councilmembers are deficit spending. Morrison said the money won’t always be there, and said Rodriguez has already placed a property tax increase on the November 2024 ballot.“I was coming here thinking, ‘District budgeting, OK, you know, bump it $5,000 per person. Not a $100,000,’” she exclaimed.
