Boston (WBZ Newsroom) -- It may be pushing a major toll hike, but the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority has given out payraises of up to $31,000
to 13 managers over the past year.
Executive Director Alan LeBovidge tells the Globe he's looking at the salary upgrades as a savings, since the pay increases coincided with the elimination of some management positions.
Board member Mary Connaughton had suggested a salary freeze for turnpike managers as a condition of the toll hikes,
saying that many people in the private sector have been asked to do more work for less money, and that the Turnpike Authority should do the same during these tough economic times.
While some of these raises may have merit, it certainly sends a conflicting message in light of the imminent toll hike,
Connaughton told the Globe.
