I wonder how many applications came in?
Give it time. It’s a NATIONWIDE search.
So Heather is the point of contact for the job she was fired. Council is all class.
class-less you mean
Yes that is exactly what I wrote
That’s something EY would do.
Can you imagine being in that position. I don’t know if it’s embarrassing or just have a bad taste in your mouth.
No! No! Not Roberta again!!
Frankie D. your in.
They need to get someone from far away. And if anyone is really applying for that position, and they start reading about the village they going to say to themselves not this place. So then the mayor and council will put in their own puppet. That’s what they want anyway, so they have full control. Like we said, in the end, the mayor and the council, or the boss of the town like it or not. They control every employee here throughout the town, and if you don’t think so, let’s meet and I’ll tell you the real story. Because the mayor and council they have a playbook and they’re not sharing it with anyone else, and don’t come back and say oh, we have the Faulkner act. You could wipe your ass with that.
How about uncle Floyd.
Was the 3 amigos plus Roberta the point where the financial health of the Village turned to crap? You know, the point where we entered that point of no return? I am sure it was. Anyone agree?
The county will take over a few departments in town.
1—central dispatch
2— water, pollution
3— EMS
4— eventually regional fire department’s
5— set the water department to veloa.
6— out source engineering to Boswell.
7–d-p-w merge it with county roads
8–-village manager/police
chief position into one, title commander.
9— private contractor for sanitation and recycling
It can easily be done
If not, just keep on raising taxes.
