I Would Like Gila County to Cut Cell Phone Expenses Now.

we are public employees, not private industry where perks like cell phones & use of "company" cars are used to lure top quality employees. I would like to see the budget brought back to where we live within our means - cells phones are totally unncecessary and I would love to hear how providing so many has improved customer service. Actually, it has decreased customer services since the money used to pay over $200,000 per year on phones could have been better spent on school and health budgets. It is also the equivilant of a $100 per month raise, while raises have been (in theory, any way) frozen. I haven't been given even a cost of living increase while the price of food, gas, utilities & yes, cell phonesm, has steadily increased. It's time that the 'tighten your belt" mentality applies to more than just us lowly workers.
