01-18-09, Letter from Man on the Street to the Vanguard Weekly News Regarding Yousefian’s Voting Record on City Employee Salary Increases

 

Man on the Street: I heard Mayor Drayman last night [Tuesday] and once before recently say that Yousefian voted to approve the employee salary increases and Yousefian said he voted against them. Can you find out the truth? [ED – We checked the minutes of the June 17, 2008 Council meeting and here is what we found on item 7a-j (Salary and benefit urgency ordinances): Yousefian voted NO on 9 of them, Quintero voted Yes on 9 and Drayman, Najarian and Weaver voted YES to approve pay and benefit increases on all 10]
