Maybe if Picozzi's budget was slashed to a level indicative of the work (or lack there of) performed, the city would realize some substantial savings. The only notable thing taking place in the DPW is people driving around all day never exiting the vehicles to perform any work. Its laughable how Picozzi always brags that his department comes in under budget. When a departments budget is so inflated and overstaffed with people that are unproductive, its easy to come in under budget. Just watch and see the increase in the fuel line item this year as opposed to last year. They will claim that it is snow related. Of course it has nothing to do with the daily 11AM to 1PM joy rides taken by almost every vehicle, or the back hoe operator who takes the back hoe to the Governor Francis credit union to cash his check, then drives all through Gaspee on the most indirect route back to Sandy Lane. It just goes on and on with no oversite.
