Asking for all employment contracts is not only inappropriate micromanaging, it is not legal. By all means, focus on managing the CAO, keeping track of issues you direct him to manage, but keep your nose out of administration details.<br /><br />Bad start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-86139405949203977182013-10-20T10:03:53.006-06:002013-10-20T10:03:53.006-06:00You have my vote and my endorsement for what its w...You have my vote and my endorsement for what its worth. I think this election will be a whole lot closer than your poll indicates. I will not vote for any incumbents and anyone out there that was not pleased with this council better get out and vote or you may end up with a big surprise late tomorrow evening. The incumbents and their supporters have been working hard to sway votes and will be in the running to get elected.GLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-13920438675233303962013-10-19T23:21:08.575-06:002013-10-19T23:21:08.575-06:00One thing comes to mind, communication and account...One thing comes to mind, communication and accountability for spending.<br /><br />Just one example: I notice the 2013 budget has $1.5 million for Culture, Rec and Heritage capital projects. Assuming similar amounts for previous years, that is $4 million during the current council. I am wondering what capital projects we have to show for this.<br /><br />I am not asking you to answer that, but rather how you would communicate the information better in the future.<br /><br />(Politicians usually like to brag about all the great things we are getting for our money, but the two blogging incumbents don't want to talk about it.)<br /><br />BTW, Emile has "cleaned up" his blog by deleting all posts before September 23, 2013. Good political strategy I guess, he wouldn't want to be held to what he said back when.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
