For
some time now the naysayers of the city have been making the charge that we
(The City) are broke. A charge that the King and Co., have adamantly denied,
but as of late it would seem more and more likely that those naysayers may be
on to something.
Also if these crumbs are so valuable now, wouldn’t we like to have some of the squandered crumbs back?
Back
when the King attempted to lease out the parking authority for a quick 20
Million, we all heard it then. He’s only doing this because we (The City) are
broke they said. Untrue said The King, but what we lost was future money we
could have squandered now!
Lately
our King is auctioning off everything but the kitchen sink. Not to worry folks
we ain’t broke yet.
Now in
a bizarre turn of events Wake Up Wilkes Barre has heard rumblings that
department heads have been tell the worker-bees of the city that they will no
longer get paid for holidays.
If that
weren’t bad enough, a meeting was held last night with The Police Department
telling them, they either comply with a similar mandate of less pay for putting
their lives on the line or we (The City) will have no choice but to cut
staffing by another 11 officers.
That’s right
less COPS to keep Gotham safe, and we thought it was rough out there now, just
wait, and the unions don’t seem to be helping defend their employees, in-fact
the union president for the police department didn’t even attend the meeting.
- Where was he you ask, well he wasn’t at the Crime Watch Meeting either.
Tomorrow
the King is expected to have yet another meeting with all the union leaders. Will
he tell them we’re broke, and that they need to give even more concessions or else
they won’t get paid?
At one
of the cut back meetings a city employee had the nerve to do the math on the
Kings purposed savings and pointed out just how miniscule the overall savings
might be, the King responded with, quote: “Every Crumb Helps”.
So if “Every
Crumb Helps” I wondered will The King and Co. be taking a pay cut as well.
After all we (The City) gave Greg Barrouk a pay raise.
Also if these crumbs are so valuable now, wouldn’t we like to have some of the squandered crumbs back?
Wake Up
Wilkes Barre
If every "little" crumb helps, why doesn't the BIGGEST crumb help by taking a pay/perk cut???
ReplyDeleteOh come on, you expect anyone at City Hall to help out!!!!
