DEL.ICIO.USFor the record
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Gwinnett County Administrator Jock Connell got the raise we told you about last week.
The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners voted up the raise, with little comment, shortly before midnight on Tuesday.
The unanimous vote, which was the last item on the board’s agenda, took all of 47 seconds to be carried.
Connell will see his salary jump from $200,000 to $225,000. But his combined annual vacation and leave time will drop from 11 weeks to seven weeks.
What a shame.

Mr. Smith’s sarcasm is duly noted.
However, given the size and scope of the Gwinnett County Government, Jock Connell is worth it.
Perhaps Ben would do his readers a favor and explain exactly what services the county provides, what those services cost, and what impact a well run government has on the citizenry’s quality of life.
That perspective would be helpful in understanding why the chief administrator of the county government is worth what we pay him.

Speaking of sarcasm, thanks so much for your insight, John. Given your shady dealings of the past, I’m always suspicious that you have visions of another elected office in Gwinnett.
