[AsburyPark] Re: Pay Freeze and Freedom of Information Act relief

2009-01-22 Thread Gabrielle Obre
I was wondering if Ap would feel the pressure for a kind of similar
pay freeze.

Whenever I talk to people much more in the know than me all they talk
about is all the patronage jobs in AP.

 not in AP.
 
 In an attempt to deliver on pledges of a transparent government, 
 Obama said he would change the way the federal government interprets 
 the Freedom of Information Act. He said he was directing agencies 
 that vet requests for information to err on the side of making 
 information public — not to look for reasons to legally withhold it — 
 an alteration to the traditional standard of evaluation.
 
 Just because a government agency has the legal power to keep 
 information private does not mean that it should, Obama said. 
 Reporters and public-interest groups often make use of the law to 
 explore how and why government decisions were made; they are often 
 stymied as agencies claim legal exemptions to the law.
 
 For a long time now, there's been too much secrecy in this city 
 (washington), Obama said.
 
 He also called on pay Freeze for those making over 100k on the 
 current staff.

Why not?

It ain't making no money and is running negative numbers.

Sure it's not all the employees fault if at all. 

Better a freeze vs no job.

I have no idea if this is true, but something that I have listened to
a number of people complain about is that there are a good number of
patronage jobs in ap.

IF it is true, it's the way all co's and muni's etc USED to operate.

If you (the parent or relative) do a good job, you are creating jobs 
for future generations of your family.

If I know someone who is a really good worker or person AND they 
suggest hiring a relative - I might of a better shot of getting a 
qualified person. Not always true.

The school districts will be in for a restructuiring and many towns 
will have to or really should be forced to shared services where it 
makes sense.
