Mary Cagle's Salary for Office of the Inspector General. By Geniusofdespair

Whomever is negoiating Mary Cagle's salary, I have her resume:

She was making $120,000. Now she wants $195,000 to $250,000. I DON'T THINK SO. During the interview she said she was open to negotiating on her requested salary, I was there. Her salary had better be $120,000.

Unions are you watching this?

Joe "Let 'em Go" Centorino is getting around $195,000 at Ethics, and you know that the Inspector General is going to require at least that much, just for parity.

That's the way that game gets played. They all play each others salaries off against each other to get at least equal pay, and if that doesn't work then they claim that they're entitled to parity with private sector lawyers.

How else would the City Attorney in Miami get over $200,000 a year plus benefits?

These bureaucrats are so ineffective. They definitely do not deserve being paid over $110,000-$120,000, if that. The taxpayers are getting screwed, again.

maybe she should be paid 250,000.00 and she give Gimenez' family lobbyist/consultants a piece of the action.
As a side note: the Office of the Inspector General doesn't pay the 5% health care scam either.
Happy Holidays to all!

That's nothing. Juan Kuryla gets a $300,000 Director's salary at the Port and he isn't even the director. A complete sleazeball, scammer, schemer, keeping commissioners/mayor/friends and family travelling to exotic locations lux accommodations, on the taxpayer dime.

I think we should put them on commission. The more people they lock up, the more money they get. Let's to Pay for Performance instead of Pay for Play.

Oh, but the Mayor would never allow that to happen. He is so concerned about the budget. He knows we can't afford to give out Wall Street salaries. Do these people think they are in the Private Sector?

Cagle is no longer a bureaucrat. She is breathing the rarefied air of the county executives. Of course she deserves to be paid twice what she was making. Just like Osterholdt, Chip Iglesias, Russell Benford. They all had their pay doubled or tripled when they came to the County Executive suites. Welcome Ms. Cagle.

This has nothing to do with Mary Cagle, but it does have to do with the entitlement that county officials seem to think that they are owed: I went to the Trash Transfer facility on Moody Drive in Naranja yesterday and saw that they are constructing a parking lot. I'm O.K. with a parking lot, but one built with pavers??? Asphalt isn't good enough for County employees, I guess. Nothing but the finest for our hardworking County employees who deliver excellence every day. Barf.

Corruption begins at Katherine Fernandez-Rundle's office. The cycle is simple: KFR provides protection for politicians and prominent members in the community which in turn contribute monies to her campaign. Absentee ballots are collected all over town but Jose Arrojo is there to ensure noone gets arrested. Several qualified people I know applied for the IG position but the fix was in from the get go. Now Rundle controls all three watchdog offices.The cesspool of SAO representatives, judges, contractors and prominent attorneys care nothing about our community, and the FBI? Doing well, thank you very much.

Of course she's going to seek more and get it, too. Welcome to Miami. Bienvenidos de Miami.

didn't you already report that she accepted the job? wasn't she already hired? the job offer should always accompanies a salary. in the real world, when you accept the offer, you accept the salary. i work in HR and none of this makes sense to me.

Since Miami-Dade has the highest paid librarians in America, they might as well have the highest paid Inspector General.

The gravy train for county employees needs to come to an end. Every salary could be cut in half and no one would leave.

Doesn't the HR Department have a compensation plan that determines the salary range and the starting salary point?

Miami dies not have the highest paid librarians. You didn't bother to do research before writing your comment. TIP: The easy way to appear smart, is to call a librarian with your information request. Then, your fellow blog readers may respect when you spout "facts" which will be accurate and backed by actual data and references. MDPLS librarians await your call.

It was reported by the Mayor during the budget hearings that the average pay of a Miami-Dade librarian is over $70k a year. We can look it up ourselves on the Mayor's transparency website and see that salary number is correct.

If $70k average pay for a librarian is not the highest in the nation, it is pretty damn close. Let's have a third party external salary study and see where our librarians stack up against other librarians. I am sure you are in favor of that, right?

Half truths are not the truth. Firing lower level staff in 2011, leaving a skeleton staff of older employees with seniority, skews the "average." Librarians are the cause of the counties financial circus of woes? Thanks for the chuckle. Front line staff are taking the bullets for the poor administrative decisions stemming back before the recession.
Why is it that we are the only county that has these massive budget issues? Cape Coral & Pinellas County had more foreclosures than we did. When was the last time we had a balanced budget? Most other Florida counties have to deal with unionized employees. Their county managers can balance their budgets. You have part-time BoCC earning $6,000 with outside interests] deciding the future of the county. We did not approve 5 deputy mayors [@ $250,000 each] replace a $425,000 county manager.

If the negotiator is the new HR director, Arlene Cuellar (annual salary $145,780.18), we are doomed. Before her bogus appointment, Cuellar was best known for botching not one, but two efforts to modernize the county's archaic payroll system. Her incompetence cost the taxpayers millions.

The dimwit got her job in typical Gimenez fashion: a crony appointment without competition. She is also on the friends and family plan. Her brother is Shiver/Burgess crony and flimflam man Jose Galan ($141,101.19 annual salary), a no-compete hire to the Internal Services real estate division (an ironic place for him given his history), and her sister-in-law is crony Victoria Galan.

To the anon above, we are the only county with massive budget issues because we are the only county with those massive salaries. I assure you, Cape Coral & Pinellas County are not paying their librarians over $70k a year and they are not paying over $200k for their department directors. We have a sick culture here and a greedy county government workforce.

And we are one of the poorest areas in the United States.

Who knows her salary?

Every thing is a partial truth. They do not give employees the 5% they took from them, but pay 10 times more to a few. THIS NEED TO CHANGE, RATHER SOON.

Cagle hasn't received a paycheck so there is nothing on the mayor's OPEN GOVERNMENT page yet.

Whatever you think about Gimenez, his OPEN GOVERNMENT page is phenomenal and a huge leap in transparency.

Andrea said...

I would give her 5% above her last salary. Certainly, no more than 10%. It's not like anyone is offering her a similar job at a higher salary. Even at $120k, she would be the highest paid inspector general in the South.

How can some citizens still be so blind? Mayor Gimenez's Open Government page only shows you what he wants you to see.I'm sure you will not find any details about his deals with lobbyists Jorge Luis Lopez, Rafael Garcia Toledo, Freddy Balsera or his own son Carlos Gimenez, Jr. If you still doubt the aforementioned, I suggest you look into the Metrorail test track contract which went to his contributor friends the Munilla family. Wake up and defend your community. This mayor is worse than Alvarez or Penelas.
