I call on Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors to rescind their self imposed raises.
When I first read that Santa Barbara supervisors voted to give themselves a raise, I thought it was a joke. But after reading the confirmed report in the Independent , I realize the joke was actually on us.
At this time of complete economic turn down; thousands of S.B. residents on unemployment; countless businesses closed; the majority of business lucky to still be open panicked that they may not be able to make ends meet — all with the looming presence of another shutdown this winter — we get this vote.
