In Empower Texans the editorial “City Employees Paid Huge Severances, Hush Money, Termination Bonuses” by Ross Kecseg he states that in North Texas there has been a rise in “Termination bonuses” from employees. Kecseg’s audience is Texas taxpayers he stresses that Texas state laws should protect them from situations like these or at least inform them where their tax money is going too. He uses George Campbell the former city manager of Denton as an example on the income he received when his contract was not renewed.
He explains that lucrative severances are commonly seen in local government as well as how people agree than disagree with officials. And most workers who are laid off are paid to keep quiet or being paid for them to leave in general. Kecseg states that most of the people's property taxes go to people who are no longer working for the corporation as their way of commission. Quoting: “Texas taxpayers faced with rising property tax bills must be frustrated to see their ballooning taxes are funding bonuses for terminated public “servants”. In addition, to this, he explains that this is not the only time Denton has experienced a track record of giving finances to unemployed workers and in order to see a positive outcome the people should implement to the local government to address these financial issues.
In other words, I agree with Ross Kecseg in his aspects of him wanting to bring the attention of the people in order for them to address the issues of terminated bonuses that continue to occur in North Texas.
