Cunliffe Firing

The astonishing news that Sylvia Cunliffe “has been on leave from her $90,243-a-year job since June” (Metro, Oct. 28) caused me to interrupt my lunch to look for my calculator.

It would appear that by the end of this week the city will have paid Cunliffe a total of $37,625 for staying at home.
