Reardon picks on the lowest paid

Shame on you, Aaron Reardon, for expecting the lowest paid employees to keep the county afloat. (Monday article, “Court clerks face furloughs as threat of layoffs looms.”)

I’m giving back 4 percent of my salary each month and now you want more. Where’s your 4 percent of your $147,000 annual salary?

Maybe it’s true that you and all of the other elected officials in the county can’t write a check to the county coffer, but you all certainly can take a voluntary 4 percent pay cut. When pigs fly, right?

Furthermore, there are many regular employees who are not required to give up a portion of their pay. Come one, fair is fair and it starts at the top. Everyone should be giving their 4 percent, not just the lowest paid.
