As such they are to observe and report back.<BR/><BR/>Not administer the department(s).<BR/><BR/>Are you telling us, that one assistants can't interface with, say, the Department of Public Helath AND the Department of Public Works?<BR/><BR/>Surely you jest.<BR/><BR/>Mayuoral staffs nationwide have expanded beyond belief. And the assistants in question havhe become quasi-administrators of the vey departments they're supposed to observe.<BR/><BR/>The city might fall apart. If we don't have enough mayoral assistants. That's rich. And obviously written by someone who toils in one of those jobs.<BR/><BR/>Get a clue, pal. The public is angry, and this is one of the reasons they're angry.

Now, you may disagree with the policy positions taken by the mayor's office, but as a citizen who is familiar with the mayor's office I can tell you that they could use some more staff. You might not think we need a deputy COS, or you may just not like Justin O., but the Governor has a deputy COS - so should he cut that person? It's a necessary position. <BR/><BR/>At least Peterson doesn't have Ike Randolph running a Front Porch Alliance with 5 employees on the government dime doing religious work - wanna go back to those days?<BR/><BR/>Show me the members of the mayor's staff that should be cut. I'm curious. Because almost every major issue, like crime, economic development, etc. has just one staff person handling that issue for the entire city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-80877165013974251092007-08-08T17:04:00.000-05:002007-08-08T17:04:00.000-05:00Interestingly, I just saw our eminent Republican Attorney General, Stephen Carter, agree with Kobi Wright about no oath need be taken by police officers to obtain their powers.

The problem with this whole mess lies not with Judge Hill,or Attorney Voyles. The problem lies with Mayor Bart who created this mess. LEO's didnt want CONsolidation and they knew it wouldnt save money. Now taxpayers are paying more for Public Safety and getting less protection than what they originally had. The new department is currently down 140 officers and another 120 are due to retire in December. Lawsuits are pending against the city in Federal Court over discrimination in promotional practices as well as Deputies who have sued over being forced out of their Social Security benefits. IPD Officers will soon file a similar suit because the city has refused to give them a similar benefit package that by law they are required to do. This whole mess would not have occurred had this merge not been forced on not only the officers but citizens as well. I hope this is a wake up call for those of you who cant seem to find it in yourselves to vote for someone other than Bart. Right now I'd vote for a ham sandwich if it were on the ballot. Remember Bart had no experience in running a city when he first became mayor, he was only an aide in the Bayh administration. Some like to paint him as a great businessman. Let me ask you this, if he is so great are all these probems an earmark of a great businessman??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-72615853690429717242007-08-08T14:13:00.000-05:002007-08-08T14:13:00.000-05:00How YOU look at what you've done and how the COURT looks at what you've done are two entirely different things.<BR/>You were referred to as Mr.Wilson because that is how I WISHED to address you!
