Given the economic conditions and the loxered amount of tax dollars coming into the city, I can appreciate the decision to cancel Scoop. The City is still talking about layoffs of personnel and if they are Public Saftey jobs that is a very real cause for concern.
So why are the taxpayers paying a big salary for a Special Events Coordinator given there are hardly any special events? May it be that the Special Events Coordinator, Kelly Link, is the daughter of Senator Terry Link?
I've heard that Larry TenPas' son will keep his job at the Fire Department ($50,000 a year), even though he is not certified for the position he holds.
It's time for our elected officials to cut the positions that are not necessary or nepotistic sucking up to other elected officials. It's our city and our tax money. If the "powers that be" can't act responsibly, we must vote them out.
