We have a few questions that need answers and are hoping somebody can help. Why do we keep hearing about employees leaving city hall? The head of finance has just resigned. All of the employees that have given notice are taking the early retirement that Mayor Bob has made available to them or have simply bailed because they do not want to be part of what is going on. We heard this includes the head of engineering, the head of human resources, the head of public works and on and on. Who will be left that has any experience? We also want to know why is Mayor Bob pulling the financial support from the Waukegan band? Didn't two nights of extra police, fire and public works employees at scooping Genesee cost more than the couple thousand it costs to support the band? It looks like Mayor Bob supports drinking in the streets but not the arts and music. When will the madness end? The people who live here better seriously consider what is happening to the city before it goes past the point of no return.
