Saitta talks Roper, mill tax break

Dear Editor,

I want to respond to the story, “Roper gets extension, big raise.” I want to give my full explanation of why I voted “No” on the contract, which passed in a 5-1 vote.

I think Ken Roper is going a good job. I supported extending his contract, but I opposed two things.

One, I opposed the excessive pay raises built into the contract. Last year, the county administrator was paid $168,557 with his car allowance. This year, $176,724.
