From the desk of Brian Hughes of the Washington Examiner we learn that counties across America are entering into a “Third World” appearance. To be specific Mr. Hughes warns……
Filthy bathrooms. Tall grass. Legions of potholes.
Some analysts say those images of disrepair will become commonplace throughout Montgomery County, with widespread cuts……” and ……… “[County] Council staff is concerned about the cleanliness and condition of county facilities, such as recreation centers, community centers, libraries and health care and day care facilities,” a staff memo says. “There are public health concerns and also concerns about loss of revenue that will occur if people stop participating in fee-supported activities or leasing space because of the condition of the facilities.”
“We will not have the ability to keep public facilities looking the way they should,” said Councilwoman Nancy Floreen, D-at large. “They won’t clean the bathrooms as much; the grass will be higher. “I think our residents will start to see very visible results of our budget cutting. “We are getting close to the bone.”
OK, Now for the OutRageToday Take.
Where's Councilman Bob, He's got my golf clubs
These 6 figure per year “public servants” are all concerned that they need to cut the salaries of the bathroom cleaners and contracted lawn mowers, who even at inflated prevailing wage don’t amount to a tinker’s cuss compared to anyone of these “public servant” city council members retirement and vacation benefits!
Staff Researcher / Pool Boy Pedro
I had my staff researcher / pool boy Pedro look it up, their county council is like mine here in Seattle, huge cavernous marble rooms filled with 6 figure “public servants” and rooms and rooms and rooms full of near or at 6 figure staff support, code enforcers, tax collectors and hundreds of expensive toddies and muses. ALL with enviable pay and benefits Pedro would kill for.
Government Staff Benefits Fund, or Enough to get Pedro to kill for
Their primary job? Tellin us we need to pay more or we’ll sit on dirty toilet seats next time we visit a library (which we shouldn’t be paying for anyway) and City Hall.
OutRageToday has thunk and thunk, and we have come up with a suggestion. Get rid of half of the guy’s telling us what we have to get rid of, along with their staffs of toadies and muses, and get Consuela to clean the freaking toilet seats! Oh, and spend the rest of the massive amounts of what’s left of lowering my freakin taxes.
Politician Considering the OutRageToday Proposal
Just a thought.
