EDITOR: I enjoy living in Morgan Hill and I willingly pay the
high property taxes on my small lot. I have never been to a city
council meeting, but I do know two of the members. I think that
members of our city council serve with minimal financial
compensation for their time and I admire them for their service…
Unfortunately a recent article regarding Jerry Galvin’s lucrative
retirement package after a scant two years of service has me very
angry!

I think that members of our city council serve with minimal financial compensation for their time and I admire them for their service.
In my 12 years living in Morgan Hill I have trusted these volunteer council members to oversee our fiscal policies and, to date, I have seen no reason to complain. Unfortunately a recent article regarding Jerry Galvin’s lucrative retirement package after a scant two years of service has me very angry!
This guy has been on the payroll as our police chief for a meager two years and now he will walk away with 90 percent of his pay for the remainder of his life; how blatantly unjust. I will be very disappointed if I find that the city council knowingly approved this contract.
