Brewer raises staff salaries again. Foss agrees it's important but outside the commission's purview, noting her own experience as a former legislative staffer.
Gale A. Brewer
We still have the question of staff.
Gale A. Brewer
I don't, Carl Weisberg said correctly that it was looked at, but not appropriate.
Gale A. Brewer
Just wondering, do you think also on the staff issue, that's a different topic or could have been something that was discussed?
Member of the Public - Rachel Foss
Perhaps it couldn't have been officially recommended, but maybe it's a discussion point.
Member of the Public - Rachel Foss
But I think we certainly support staff salary increases.
Member of the Public - Rachel Foss
As a former legislative staffer myself, I feel that personally.
Member of the Public - Rachel Foss
So I would agree.
Member of the Public - Rachel Foss
Yeah.
