Civil servants oppose library pay raise

Jacksonville Civil Service Board approves pay hike for librarians and other staff. Pay raises range from an additional 25 cents and hour to $2.12 more an hour. Library pay rate hikes were apparently approved when other area library pay rates were lower and Jacksonville didn\’t provide cost-of-living increases for other city employees for 2002. The Mayor however approved saying that, \”the library is long overdue.\” (An unintentional pun?) From the Anniston Star
