Really Councilmember Tanaka? Communistic? Socialistic? This is beyond absurd, it’s silly and so badly informed that it only highlights his lack of judgment and the intelligence needed to function well on Council or in any other elected office.

As Councilmember Burt says, paid days off is a common practice. It was done at times in workplaces where I was.

As can be seen here, that Tanaka imagines he is Congressional material serves no one well but Greg Tanaka.

Friends reported that in response to Tanaka's absurd claims of "socialism" and "communism" that CC member Eric Filseth voted "da!" to approve the raises.

I'd love to see that! If anyone has a link to the "da!" vote, please post it! We could all use a good laugh.

The three paid days off for city workers: thumbs up.
- in this case, deserved.
The raises for the already very well compensated top city officials:
Thumbs down.

Once again the CC demonstrates how irresponsible they are with taxpayers money. It never ends and now they want a business tax.
