County Executive proposes Overhaul of Employee Pay System: The Fairfax Times (12/13) reports that County Executive Ed Long is proposing a significant overhaul of the employee payment system in anticipation of a significant budget shortfall over the next two years.  Under the new system employees would receive a cost of living increase in odd numbered years and would be eligible for performance based bonuses in even numbered years.  “Still, trying to find $19 [million] or $20 million in the budget is going to be a challenge, but it’s much more doable,” Long was quoted as saying.  Fairfax County has around 11,000 people in its workforce.
