Should Laura Mitchell have to reimburse the cost of having Salisbury personnel present on Saturday to receive her failed referendum petition?

Yes. If it had been Terry, Debbie or Tim the so-called mayor would be demanding it along with his dirty dozen club.
Do salaried employees get overtime? I don't! I keep reading what this fiasco cost the taxpayers but has anyone actually come up with a $ amount yet?
Of course she should, but Jim-beau won't slam his princess.
Yes!! Salaried or hourly it cost taxpayers to support this idiot's stupidity - hourly direct money, salaried diversion of duty from less dumbness.
If they are on salary they will recieve comp time to make up for coming in on a weekend. Either way it cost the taxpayer because said employees will be leaving early one day leaving city business behind.
All hail "Lord Ireton," Lord of the Idiots!
Absolutely not. The deadline was on a Saturday. Would you be making anywhere near this much noise about it if Terry or Debbie had required staff to come in briefly on a Saturday? Get over it.
If SHE asked for a recount, then she should pay. If HE did, then the city will have to pick up the tab. To be honest, there are many petitions that are, or appear to be, close, as this one did, so the taxpayers may have to pick up the cost. I am curious, as are some other posters here, what the cost is.
No. Whether you agree with her or not, she was doing her job as a representative of her constituents. There will always be costs that go along with those duties.
I insist Council send her a bill for the comp time, let her fight it out in court!
Hope you die
Laura Supporter,

It is a bit&h!!!!!
12:26 - She was NOT doing her job. Her job is to participate in Council actions, not going about creating a firestorm, using City resources to try to overturn a majority vote. Turns out she's not only in the minority on Council but in the entire City; using all the resources she could bring to bear, most of the town ignored her childish actions and watched tax dollars being wasted.
Who paid for those signs? If we did, I feel it was misuse of tax payers funds.
1:44 is right. I was shocked that elected officials were running the show on a "people's action." Politics at its worst.
Bob Caldwell had been out of politics a long time when he ran his petition drive against something mmuch more important to regular people - higher taxes!
He got more signatures than he needed before he took it in. Mitchell knew damn well she didn't have the numbers, but she took it in anyway.
I think she should reimburse the people for pretending to be a council member when all she seems to do is agitate and throw bombs. I'm old enough to remember the Weathermen real good. She'd make a great member.
If it failed, why did it have to be presented?
