Briefly

This time of year, everyone is pinching pennies, trying to get through the holiday season. Most of us are frugal, stretching every dollar to make ends meet. We search for bargains, clip coupons, and try to be careful with our funds. In other words, we try to get our money's worth.

So this week's decision by the city council to give "cost of living" raises to certain employees is a bitter pill to swallow.

We gotta wonder . . . in this instance, have we gotten our money's worth?
