At a time when property values in the County have fallen 30% or more, the top 30 government officials in Kaua'i County are slated to be given across the board 20% pay raises for the past 2 years. All of them would make well over $100,000. In total, these 30+ officials are paid over 2% of the entire annual County of Kaua'i Budget. Meanwhile 6 of the 7 County Council Members are grossly underpaid at $53,066 per year:

Most of these officials would be overpaid and did not "earn" a 20% pay raise since 2007. It's starting to become clear where a sizeable portion of the political contributions come from and why there's no money in the budget for things like a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).
