Reply to comment by thechickenmoo in Fairfax County Board of Supervisors vote in favor of giving themselves a massive raise by Pantherax_k

It's a lot when it's framed as a single year increase, but the board's pay was last adjusted in 2015. It still outpaces inflation, but a county board member or executive making $130-145K in a place like Fairfax isn't that surprising to me. The closest equivalent where I live, a county commissioner, makes about $124K.

Reply to comment by Kingshabaz in Man who calls himself "Dolphin Dave" cited for allegedly harassing humpback whales and dolphins in Hawaii by wallstreetegg

I suppose personal safety and disturbing rco systems?

I’d rather everybody who actually wants to swim with dolphins have a safe and fun time, as opposed to idk, getting eaten by a shark or drowning or something.

On top of that we don’t want any ACTUAL dolphin fuckers to get a free pass.

Sure, this guy is more or less harmless but who knows what kind of freaks a “NO RULES” type approach would attract.
