Haggling over the newly-appointed Multnomah's library director's salary continues.
The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners on Thursday unanimously approved a $120,000 salary for the incoming library director, $18,000 less than the salary originally offered by county Chairwoman Diane Linn.
After the vote, Linn said she plans to stick with her $138,000 "promise" to Washington, D.C., library director Molly Raphael, making up the difference through private donations. "A few generous individuals" have stepped up to help make the salary whole, she said.
