Why not make the downtown merchants trim their trees too? What makes them so special that they get free tree trimming, free sidewalks, free snow removal, etc. etc. etc. Is it just cronyism spoils for the card lady?
Good deal! Time for CEOs to finally start making a little money. I have been so worried that CEOs were barely getting by. Hope they do not have to pay for any health insurance, and that they also get nice car allowances too.
State employees cannot even get a 2% raise, but CEOs got a 6.5% raise just this year.
Maybe the City and the Chamber need to start recruiting more CEOs to live here, instead of young professionals. I'll bet if they could get 1000 CEOs to relocate here that our local economy might be improved a bit.
At least the County Commission knows that good roads are a priority around here, and that a little maintenance on a regular basis saves tons of money redoing it all later. Wish the County Commissioners were running the city.
There is NO ONE in City Hall, or anywhere in Jefferson City who cannot facilitate a meeting?
What good is our city government if they have to contract out every little activity?
Does anyone else see a problem here with all the wasted tax dollars contiually going to consultants, facilitators, advisors, evaluators, etc. etc. etc.???
Our tax dollars should be used to GET THINGS DONE, not to talk about stuff in meetings and create reports and powerpoints.
