Finally, as the budget stands for the fiscal year 77/78, <br /> my salary w s cut $1,300 below the figure recommended by <br /> State Perso nel and the amount requested in the initial <br /> budget pres ntation. At the same time, your salary and <br /> those of th other staff members were considerably elevated <br /> above the s s initially requested in the budget. <br /> Consequentl , from the inequities I have stated and numerous <br /> others that could be! stated, I can only conclude that you <br /> and the gov ruing powers of Orange County are not pleased with <br /> me or the p rformanc:e of my duties.
