gotta think about this one... so the pay cut for Axel Henry is like a lesson in responsibility, you know? He's still doing his job, making sure public safety is on point, but he's also standing up for what he thinks is fair. The city's got some financial issues, and that's not an excuse to take care of its top officials right away. It's like Carter says, "we're paying to come to work now"... I guess you could say they should already be there? 
and then there's the talent flight... it's a reminder that people want to be valued and respected in their jobs. Henry's not just fighting for his own pay; he's advocating for others who might feel undervalued too. Maybe this is an opportunity for St. Paul to rethink its salary structure and find a balance between fair compensation and fiscal responsibility?
like the police chief is literally saying they're paying people to come to work lol... but seriously, $100k less than the minneapolis chief? that's lowkey crazy 
. it's all about recruiting and retaining talent now, and st paul is struggling big time 
. and what's up with the city council president saying they need to level up their salary scale commensurate with frontline workers' experience? like, duh 
. anyway, i think it's time for st paul to get its act together and pay its leaders some decent wages 
.
