Another North County Times editorial Roses and Raspberries for Jan. 31, 2011. This time for retiring City Manager Phil Cotton squeezing an additional $8,000 (to his city contracted pay of $198,723) out of City. The following is an excerpt."We’d be shocked if it wasn’t so predictable."Jerome Stocks and city attorney, Glenn Sabine: Cotton Club
"Since “retiring,” Cotton has been hired back at $15,000 a month to serve as the interim city manager, and he’s still working all the angles. Apparently overtaxed by the demands of running the small beach town, Cotton took off several weeks in November and December, even though he was being paid for these weeks under his month-to-month contract."
As with so many things, legal theft.
