Things you don't see in Pinellas County, #347
(Miami Herald)
Eager to avoid a taxpayer backlash, Miami city commissioners Thursday voted unanimously against granting former City Attorney Jorge Fernandez any form of severance pay -- rejecting a proposed payout that could have cost taxpayers nearly $300,000.
That figure represented a combination of accumulated vacation and sick days along with six months of severance pay. Fernandez was earning $257,231 a year at the time of his resignation earlier this month.
