Page 5 <br />1 Jack. <br />2 MR. MATSUKAWA: Yeah. Just for your information, <br />3 I'll be retiring on Thursday, after thirty-one years. But I <br />4 come -- it's important for me to talk to you guys. <br />5 CHR. ONO: You're upset because we didn't adjust <br />6 your salary. <br />7 MR. MATSUKAWA: The point is this -- I speak for <br />8 them. So I don't know if it's Mitch's position, anybody's <br />9 position, my position. I've been here for thirty-one years, <br />10 longer than Mitch. The only person less is Dale, Dale Ross. <br />11 But Mitch is in a position -- we cannot -- a raise, right, <br />12 would be kind of uncomfortable for him. But, you know what, <br />13 his raise affects us, right? That's how it works, right? <br />14 And I haven't really gotten a raise over ten years. Maybe <br />15 Mitch gave me a $50 raise. <br />16 But you know, what's disheartening, I'm sitting <br />17 next to the person, I'm going to retire, he's a police patrol <br />18 guy. He's telling me, I'm going to cash out my deferred, <br />19 because you know why? Because I get $5000 I'm going to bring <br />20 home. That's more than I'm going to bring home, my pension. <br />21 And, yeah, it's probably based because they work overtime. <br />22 But our overtime is not compensated. <br />23 When I did my murder cases like that, I don't know. <br />24 You ask -- being there, we living in there, you know, forty <br />25 hours a week easy. Because you got to spend all your nights, <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br />
