To Thecaptain,

So, you have proof of all this alleged inefficiencies? You have been inside the employee only area where these workers punch in and out? Do you have anything to back up your allegations? Since you show cowardice by hiding behind a username, I will draw my conclusion that you have no proof of what you allege. How about you go out with these workers at 2:45 am in January when its 15 degrees outside and have to fix a water main break. How about you go out and plow with these guys for 24 hours straight. How about you stand with them when its 85 degrees outside with 80% humidity to fill potholes, cut the grass at City Park, install irrigation systems at ballfields, and why not go with them in this weather when they have to clean out the storm drains of leaves, litter and heaven knows what else. These men work in extreme temperatures in winter and summer, when plowing miss time away from their families and then have to listen to people like you who complain because they see a truck parked at a fast food restaurant due to the fact that the individual has been out plowing for 12 hours and this is the first chance he gets to eat and grab a coffee.

What do you do for work? It seems to me that for you to put these allegations out, to see these trucks "driving around with no work in sight". If you think you can run the city better why not run for the position. As you read my last sentence you are probably saying to yourself "I don't want to run for mayor." Until you want to run for mayor, hide behind your user name and keep throwing out allegations that you cannot prove. The reason you cannot prove these allegations is because they don't happen.

Do us all a favor, grab your brother the Cowardly Lion, and stay home. I do not hide behind user names and proudly sign my name!
