ANYTHING GOES< ANYTHING STANDS FAKEOVER (part 1)
April 23, 2005 EM2 found out through documentation and complaints that our city is being ill run and has been for many years at best. We have management and upper management staff who give the City Council Members basically what they want to hear, MORE FICTION THAN FACT, WITH OR WITHOUT THE TRUTH!! For instance, we have 14 or more staff members holding a city credit card with a limit of $2500.00 dollars, followed up by a CARTE BLANCHE ATTITUDE!!! EM2 recomends that only the offices of City Manager and City Clerk should be in possesion of city credit cards to process whatever the city needs are.
On the GAS CARD issue, If any city employee who uses the cities gas card fails to file a receipt for reimbursement, there will be no reimbursement. Also drop the ALLOTMENTS. Why keep the door open for CROOKED behavior.
Lately it has been citizens and the newly elected City Treasurer who have been holding the line against QUESTIONABLE BEHAVIOR AND PRACTICES using the TRUTH.
Also EM2 has noticed that the City Attorney who sits/stands by and allows a ANYTHING GOES, ANYTHING STANDS attitude as to factual information on city business. EM2 has not seen any real benefit from the advice of the City Attorney since tenure. As a matter of fact the attorney's advice has been very costly. The only ones who seem to benefit most are the parties involved in contracting out city work which seems to monopolize and capitalize where public funds are concerned. One of the duties of the City Attorney is to advise the council in a manor to protect the city from improprieties and mismanagement of public funds. Come to find out we have a developer in town looking to suposedly build a housing project in the back basin area, under the disguise of a R.D.A. Project (redevelopement project). How can the City Attorney be looking out for the best interest of the city, while showing major interest in the FAVORED DEVELOPER'S PROJECT. The DEVELOPER only need ask and the City Attorney and the "BOND CONSULTANTS" would be off and running to oblige the developer at TAXPAYERS EXPENSE!!! AGAIN!!!!! It's the TAXPAYERS and HOME BUYERS that get RIPPED OFF and TAKEN BY SURPRISE on these kinds of bond issuance projects. HOME BUYERS BEWARE!
EM2 has discovered that recently a movement is coming down from parties of questionable behavior, to change the Office of the City Treasurer from an elected position to an appointed one, oddly enough!!! GOD HELP US IF THIS HAPPENS!!! The citizens know and have stated so, that the newly elected Treasurer is the best thing to happen to this city. AND REMEMBER, CITIZENS, ALWAYS VOTE NO ON APPOINTEES.
This is the end of part 1 of "ANYTTHING GOES, ANYTHING STANDS FAKEOVER".
Log on for part 2 (next article)

Right on right on. If the people in city hall want to survive they have to get rid of Pete Weber. He does not "fit it" with the group. He actually wants to help the tax paying citizens of this town. As for Babs Liebold her last name says it all does it not? What a stinking mess we have in city hall, how do you ever clean it up? As for making Bob Brady our city manager, the citizens must act now or he will be shoved down our throats. Speak up now, e mails, letters to our City Council. SAY NO TO BOB BRADY.
Is it true that the contractor who services lighting Citywide uses City employees to do the light installation jobs paying them in CASH?????????? Is thatlegal?????
