Ms. Alexandra Eframo spoke under “Citizen Public Input” stating she was livid regarding the approved property tax increase for residents of Salt Lake County. She does not know how many seniors there are in Salt Lake County, but every one of them, that receive social security, will not get a raise this year, not even a cost-of-living increase. County employees make more money than their counterpart in the private sector and should not be getting a salary increase. The County needs to learn to live within its budget.
