Oof. Why in God’s name would anyone want this job and have to speak to the poison that flows from our faucets.
They need a person to point a finger at. So they can put the blame in their lap.
Why are they hiring so many new people in the past few years. they must be making a lot of money . We wonder what the utility is worth now. How many millions did they spend in the past three years?
Ok , I just read the job report for hiring. With all that credentials and experience, the pay rate will have to be over 200 grand if not, it’s not worth it, the dam stresses, pressure, who was the old manager.
Not worth any amount if the job includes the point person to speak with public, press
SELL IT!!
Whoever they hire, they better remove the poison from the water.
Who ever Takes the job better remove there stomach. Because all the bull that is going to come with the job.
They will find someone that is a sucker. A real brownie person. The village always finds a screw ball. Look at the past few years. They come and screw up every thing. And then leave, or sent packing. Look at (macys boy) they took in. Right mr, g p s ,Good luck
So.
Very
True
If anything, the utility company should be run separately from any village operations. But they will not do that because they generate a lot of money. That’s their piggy bank milk money, whenever they need money or they need to balanced budget, take money from the water department. Why do you think members of the old counsel from Midlandpark Whycoff, Glenrock sued the village a few years back. Remember that one. The judges head was spinning.
JUST GET RID OF THE POISION IN THE WATER ALREADY !!!
Ohh yeah’ it was around 15 million or so. Is that over. Or is it still going on.
You would think someone from the water department would take the job. But no will trust aka the g p s ‘ man. It’s amazing how certain individual has that kind of time to follow vehicles. Wow I mean really,
I was told a long time ago, watch that smile,
