[MoLiCo] Full speed ahead on parks expansion

2011-08-14 Thread spfdgolf


from this Friday listing,  I see that Ms. Adams is full speed ahead on  
expanding her Parks Department.  


I don't believe she mentionedthree new assistantparks directors at   
$70,720 -  $96,460   on her 2006 list of tax promises...


This is an "internal promotion" position only... 

meaning if you have a son or daughter with an MBA or beyond who is not already 
a 
part of the city...   They need not apply.   Sort of a   "private club"   
public 
position

I would suppose one could simply vote no on any new taxes, as one never knows 
what they will really do with the funds...

I agree with you. Jody Adams is a unrepentant empire builder, and wants a new 
parks tax - - on top of what we are already paying and regardless of whether 
the 
people NEED more parks and new high price parks administrators.

I find it refreshing that our new Presiding Commisioner Jim Vriebrock has 
squelched her - - temporarily.  Vriebrock desperately needs new funds to 
alleviate the overcrowding in the county jail. I would say we voters are facing 
a new county tax proposal for law enforcement. As this issue develops, I will

Re: [MoLiCo] Full speed ahead on parks expansion

2011-08-16 Thread James Hornaday Jr.
Jerry:

Not having done anything but read the N-L, I would hazard the opinion that the 
shortage of circuit court judges is the worst long-term problem in local law 
enforcement.  Getting the State to supply us with more judges will take an act 
of God and a turn-around in the State's finances.  In the meantime, we are 
stuck 
with that problem.

The County has wrung the last nickel out of their budget.  The only thing that 
will alleviate their problem is a hypothetical big increase in sales taxes. The 
latest monthly payback from the State went down 5%. Or maybe the State will 
magnanimously pay the county the full per diem amount they are supposed to 
pay.   HAH!

I do agree that the lack of deputies in the jail creates an internal safety 
hazard, but adding more jailers is merely bandaging the wound without healing 
anything.  


Turning out the 'least' violent jail offenders on probation is not a good 
solution in any sense of the word.

Our paying for more prosecuters will, in my opinion, do not anything 
significant 
in reducing the jail count - - as long as we are short of judges.

Hey, maybe you have a better way to fix 'what is wrong with the system"? The 
more I learn about the 'system', the worse it looks. I'm sorta stuck on any 
good 
ideas.
