The above is a raise JUST GIVEN to the Winter Springs City Manager --

Updated Bulletin
October 4th, 2008
City Manager McLemore gets a BIGGER PAY RAISE than all other city employees ! Read what happened before employees got another COST of LIVING PAY RAISE at a time when all budgets were left in tact, city lost it's fire department to the County through a slick many year maneuver by the city manager. His commission cronies gave him a bigger pay raise, and cut city events so this man could feed his
THREE GOLDEN PARACHUTE RETIREMENT PLANS.
Wall Street is located at 1136 SR434 in Winter Springs, Florida along with an out of control City Government, Mayor, City Manager, and City Attorney ! Read the below fiasco !
These people are NOT NEEDED in city hall !
Did you get a BIG YEARLY RAISE ---- RETROACTIVE?
VOTE HIS CRONIES AND FRIENDS OUT OF OFFICE THIS UPCOMING NOVEMBER 4th, 2008 !
September 15th, 2008!
Gilmore, Miller, and McGinnis go against citizens of Winter Springs with a NEW property tax. Is this to cover city manager's big pay hike, and his three pensions plans paid by taxpayers? Was the Mayor also was in on the proceedings by the way he handles commission meetings by his rudeness in not allowing his opposition to fully express themselves while allowing the crony commissioners to babble on?
Has the pension plans of the city been brought to the proper perspective? After all city McLemore gets taxpayer dollars paid into ALL THREE OF HIS, while city employees have but the one. It is a known fact that this McLemore generated plan will decrease into one of the city's most financial barriers of all time.
How can the taxpayers afford to continue contributing 13.3% percent annually of an employee's yearly salary into a retirement fund? That fund may be fully funded AT THIS TIME, or possibly long enough for the city manager to reap his full potential out of it until it bankrupts the city.
The Winter Springs commission even reimbursed him for his loses in his TWO ICMA Retirement FUNDS when the .COM market collapsed, and wiped out his TWO FUNDS.
He had better hope those funds -- paid for by the taxpayers --- are at least better invested this time, or would Gilmore, Miller, and McGinnis again bail him out of his own bad investments as before? Does your retirement fund receive a 13.3% percent annual contribution from your employer? One would have a safe bet that no other governmental fund in this State has such a ridiculous pension plan -- a la the McLemore Scam!

City manager McLemore has just pulled another "PEARL HARBOR " sneak attack on the taxpayers of the City of Winter Springs. He does it EVERY year !
AFTER the years upcoming budget, and the property taxes have been set for the new year's when this sneak attack is made upon the peoples tax dollars for this city manager's pay increases, and eventually those of his favorite employees so it doesn't attract the attention of the public! He does NOT want these figures to appear on the line items of the upcoming budgets for fear of his LACKEYS finally seeing through this very deceitful manipulation by his office. One would think the commission would finally wise up to this manipulation of your tax dollars, but he has his THREE CRONY VOTES on the dais so he will continue this practice.
As long as he has his THREE CRONIES to vote his will into the current established budgets he will continue to do this. He has been told that if they weren't in by at LEAST December of his requested year he wouldn't have them considered, but it makes no difference to him as long as he is assured of his three votes. At the present time he has Miller, McGinnis, and Gilmore who will not challenge him upon this deceitful yearly maneuver. Commissioners Brown and Krebs voted against this devious man's request.
TIME FOR A CHANGE FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE OF WINTER SPRINGS !
The three named CRONIES above MUST BE REPLACED with people who represent the citizens of Winter Springs ! There are two people running for office this year that could change the government of the City drastically --- IF ELECTED ! PFGG can not endorse, or campaign for any know candidate running for public office, but we sure as heck can bring to the attention of the public the deficiencies of the current government. We have done this for years. but some how the marauding vultures attacking your tax dollars have managed to retain control of the City of Winter Springs.
THIS IS THE YEAR -- 2008 -- TO CORRECT THIS TAX SPENDING FRENZIES OF YOUR MONEY !

PFGG is having the figures complied to show our readers just exactly how this pay raise effects the budget turmoil the city manager continues (12 years to date) to fleece the figures that have already been established for the upcoming budgeted year. This is ONE of the reasons the City of Winter Springs could not afford to maintain their own fire department for the reasons plus actions of this city mangler. Just one phase of the deceit is --
1. The 4% percent increase of his salary. Above and beyond the cost of living index.
2. The INCREASE of tax money to his two PRIVATE GOLDEN PARACHUTE retirement plans.
3. The INCREASE of the city's PENSION PLAN above the cost of the already established plan.
4. The INCREASE of the salaries -- once again already established in the new budgets.

Then he can continue his plunder of your tax dollars with NEW EMPLOYEES, and raise increases for his people inside city hall that comply to his wishes and whims. HIS YES PEOPLE ! This happens EVERY YEAR as desired by the city manager --- you can count on it ! He will put his request in for his 2008 INCREASE in salary sometime during the year of 2009. Go back and check the records -- this is a yearly contrive plan to enhance his personal gain regardless of the city's money woes .

TWO of those three controlled voting seats are up for you -- the taxpayer -- to change on November the 4th, 2008. DO NOT listen to the political ploy and deceit of his current THREE CRONIES --- including the mayor --- when voting this November. Ask ALL candidates running for office just what their intentions are to the above ploy, and what they intend to do to correct this yearly scam. Pay close attention to the ties of ANY of those candidates to the current political machine sitting on your city's dais. This is VERY important in order to restore THE PEOPLE'S GOVERNMENT to the City of Winter Springs, Florida !
BE SURE TO VOTE NOVEMBER THE 4th, 2008 !
