John,

You fail to see the relevance here. The mayors DPW director and his contractor exposed the city to liability due to ignorance. Imagine if the pilot of an aircraft that you were a passenger on decided to act in a negligent unsafe manor that was not only a violation of known standards and procedures, but also put you and your family at risk. It is not a harmless photo and it exemplifies the total disregard for procedures that is now plaguing this city. Whether it be code violations in Apponaug, council members approving contracts without reading them, violations of the open meetings act, unfunded liabilities, hiring family members without posting the positions required by ordinance, or a host of many many other issues. It simply shows the complete disregard for following the simplest of protocol. Imagine for a moment IF, there was an accident. Who would be on the hook? The taxpayer. Think about it. It is analogous to driving under the influence with a loaded gun, like Councilman Donovan did not long ago.
