Timing of Seattle official’s $40K bonus questioned | Local News | Seattle News, Local News, Breaking News, Weather | KING5.com

The politics for mayor is heating up.  James Donaldson, who is running for mayor is “looking out” for us.  Not really, but in politics that is what it is called.

Jorge Carrasco, was hired to turn Seattle City Light around.  They laid out his goals and a bonus schedule for meeting those goals.  Mr. Carrasco has meet the goals, and 18% of his base pay is the bonus and he is owed $40,000.  Its a car people, this isn’t AIG dollars we are talking about, get a grip.  If he was getting this for doing nothing, yea I would be all uppity about it too.  But the man did his job and more, hence the bonus.

Donaldson, made sure that his being a former Sonic player, (not sure that is something to be bragging about) he understands contracts and incentives.  Tell me the last time a NBA player was called out for making a bonus.  How out of touch are you Mr. Donaldson?  We “regular” people do understand how bonuses work, and we very much understand that when someone earns their bonus, they deserve to be paid, in or out of the public sector.  You want to impress me Mr. Donaldson, do me a Steve Jobs, and be mayor for $1 a year.  Your an ex-sonic I am sure you can afford it.
