Asheville City Council will be considering an update to its living wage policy. If the resolution is passed as written, following the advice of the progressive group Just Economics, the city would pay a minimum of $11.35/hour without health insurance or $9.85 with. Meanwhile, famous local media personalities are trying to stir the pot about city employees making close to six digits during what the public suspected was a season of wage freezes. No mention has been made of the fact that Samuel H. Powers is serving as head of two departments, and Sarah L. Bradley had a big promotion.
