Nancy,

You are asking where the funds are going? Here is a list.

$13.4 million allocated to raises for the teachers that produce substandard grades in crumbling buildings

$2.8 million in raises for police/dpw (and given to them by the council prior to the 5 year fiscal evaluation being made public. Smart guys eh?)

$957,000 for uniform allowance to the fire dept. All of which is not tracked and the taxpayer in turn, still buys all uniforms

$1,092,421 in unused sick pay bonuses that has all been schemed with no accountability with 139 men being overpaid

$1,579,200 costs due to the WFD "SUBSTITUTION" policy which allows men to preserve sick and vacation days to be paid out later for them at a higher rate

Then you have a fleet of vehicles without GPS tracking that has zero accountability. On any given day you can find dpw vehicles hiding in the woods, driving around, cruising thru Goddard Park, and the management has no definitive means to dispute these claims.

Shall I go on?
