THAT'S MY MAN JOE!I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DOES IT,HOW HE FINDS THE TIME,THE EFFORTS HE PUTS FORTH TO EXPOSE THESE "POLITICIANS" FOR WHAT THEY REALLY ARE.
AND IN EXPOSING,BRINGING TO OUR ATTENTION,HOW THESE PEOPLE ARE "SCREWING" US JOE IS EDUCATING US ON WHAT TO LOOK FOR.HOW TO SPOT THESE SLIMY,LYING,CONIVING,SELF SERVING,PROFESSIONAL CONMEN.
WE ARE ALL TIRED OF THE DECEIT,THE SCAMS,POLITICAL FAVORS,BACKROOM DEALS THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED WITH.
I THANK GOD FOR PEOPLE LIKE JOE.
HE IS DOING A GREAT SERVICE FOR US ALL,AND HE DOES IT ON HIS OWN TIME.
YEAH,HE MAKES MY HEAD FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE EVERY TIME I READ SOMETHING HE WRITES.AND I FEEL HIS FRUSTRATION THAT WE CAN'T SEEM TO GET QUALITY PEOPLE TO RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE.AND HAVING AN OPINION AS HE,I,AND OTHERS HAVE,DOES NOT MAKE US QUALIFIED TO RUN FOR,OR HOLD A PUBLIC OFFICE.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT OPINIONS ARE LIKE,,,EVERYONE HAS ONE.
JOE ASKED FOR CHALLENGERS TO RUN AGAINST THE 4(5)INCUMBENTS THIS FALL.ASK YOURSELF,WHAT HONEST,HARD WORKING,COMMON SENSE,INTELLIGENT PERSON WOULD THROW THEIR LOT IN WITH THESE LYING,DECEITFULL,SELFISH,BAFOONS?
AND AS TO THE SALARIES,I SEE NOTHING OUTRAGEOUS.EXCEPT FOR THE
$5,000.00 INCREASE FOR OUR COMM. CENTER DIR. FAR MORE THAN ANY OTHER EMPLOYEE WAS GIVEN.EVEN THOUGH IT WAS KNOCKED DOWN FROM THE ORIGINAL $15,000.00
AND RUTH "CARPETBAGGER"GRAY,IS STILL BITCHIN'...
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK JOE.

I just watched the video of Ruth Gray. OMG & LOL

If SEO could do a internet like reverse 911 and force this video on people's computers like city officials do with the phone system, then Gray would have a much harder chance of getting herself reelected. How she's there in the first place is highly questionable to say the least. People need to know what is happening and not just those who read SEO. We have a council and administration that is taking us all for a ride. Does anyone know if there are other council members who collect a public salary? Do other cities allow this? I'm amazed.

This issue has a few angles. Here are my thoughts, for whatever they are worth. Ruth Gray is correct. How anyone can justify sticking it to the non-union personnel just because they can is beyond me. Guess what, keep up that attitude and you won't have to deal with the non-union issue any longer...they'll all become union. Sometimes the right way is not always the cheapest. Treat all your employees equally which is what I believe Ruth is trying to get across. Good for her.
Jane Goodman is way off base, again. As previously mentioned, you can't make a statement on the backs of the employees making the least. How dare she try to be so cheap as to cut someone's increase because they don't have a union contract. Hey Jane, you budgeted for it this year so pay it this year. No one is clamoring for service cuts or personnel cuts. I don't know when the contracts expire, but that is the time to deal with this. If you want to cut anyone's pay, start with those at the top. She should be ashamed of herself. Worry about Cedar Center and not the $300 you're trying to take away from someone.
Mr. Hartigan seems to be on track. I thought he had some very good ideas on the tuition reimbursement/payment issue and maybe he can get some of those proposals across for the next contract if he is still on Council.
Lastly, I think that Moe Romeo's time has come and gone. He does not seem to add anything worthwhile.
My thoughts.

OH HELL YES "MY THOUGHTS",YOU ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT,PINPOINT,WELL WITHIN A MICRON OF BEING DEAD NUTS ON TARGET AS TO MOE'S SIGNIFICANCE.
AS TO UNION VS. NONUNION SALARYS AND BENEFITS,YOU CAN'T TREAT THEM THE SAME.UNIONS DO HAVE CONTRACTS,LEGAL BINDING GUARANTIES,INCREASES,BENEFITS ETC.
AND YES,US NONUNION PEOPLE USUALLY TAKE A HIT AT THE UNIONS BENEFIT.
AND YES,THE DIFFFERENCE BETWEEN UNION AND NONUNION IS,HAS,AND CONTINUES TO BE LESS AND LESS OF AN ISSUE.WE ARE ALL GETTING SCREWED EQUALLY,AS OUR POLITICIANS CONTINUE TO WALK AWAY WITH MORE AND MORE OF OUR TAX DOLLARS.AND WE FOOLISHLY CONTINUE TO SUPPORT BOTH PARTIES,INCUMBENT POLITICIANS....

AHHHH,A FRESH PAGE.ON TO MARY JANE.......IF I COULD,I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO WRITE LIKE SHE DOES.OR JOHN STEINBECK,NOT HIS "GRAPES OF WRATH",OR "OF MICE AND MEN".SORRY JANE,MORE LIKE HIS "TRAVELS WITH CHARLIE".YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIANCES,AND COMMEN SENSE APPROACH TO EVERYDAY LIFE AS IT IS EXPERIANCED.

HONESTY,SELF RESPECT,EVERY OTHER THING YOU MENTION IN YOUR ARTICLE THIS WEEK.
I'M SORRY SEO IF THIS IS TOO GENERAL A TOPIC,AND MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BE "PRAISING" A WRITER INSTEAD OF ATTACKING SOME CRAZY SH** (CRAP) BEING HEAPED UPON US.
BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT,TAKE TIME TO ACKNOWLEDGE,THE SIMPLE,HUMAN,EVERYDAY,COMMON THINGS IN LIFE THAT REALLY MATTER MORE TO US THAN ALL THE POLITICAL
B.S. WE ARE FACED WITH.
AGAIN,IT AINT ROCKET SCIENCE!!!!MARY JANE UNDERSTANDS IT.I THINK I UNDERSTAND IT.EVEN JOE(SAYITAINTSO)LIPTOW.
TRUTHFULLNESS,HONESTY,SIMPLE RIGHT AND WRONG,,,,,,,YER MOM WOULD KICK YER ASS FER LYING,I GOT A SMACK THAT MADE MY NOSE BLEED FOR STEALING STUFF FROM HGTS. PHARMACY AT CEDAR GREEN,MY DAD HIT ME SO HARD I SAW STARS CAUSE THE COPS SAID I BROKE WINDOWS AT A LOCAL SCHOOL,(WHICH I DIDN'T) BUT TOOK A BEATIN' ANYWAY.....
THE POINT IS MARY JANE POINTS IT OUT,JOE LIPTOW DOES THE SAME,ALL OF YOU AND I COMPLAIN ABOUT THE DISHONESTY,THE SCAMS,THE EXCESSIVE TAXS,CORRUPTION,THE HONEST TO GOD BULLSHIT THAT WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH FROM THE SCUMBAG,LYING,CHEATING,IMMORAL,DID I SAY LYING,,,,PERVERTED,EGOMANIACAL,SOCIOPATHS WE CALL POLITICIANS,,,,,OUR MOTHERS,AND FATHERS,WOULD BEAT THEIR ASSES TO A RAW,BEET RED,SWOLLEN PIECE OF MEAT IF THEY KNEW.......WHAT THESE KIDS DID.
WHERE DID WE LOSE IT JANE? IT CERTAINLY WASN'T YOU,OR I THAT LET OUR KIDS RUN AMOCK AND THINK IT WAS OK TO SCREW OVER EVERYONE ELSE.I DON'T GET IT JANE.SEO,TELL US HOW WE 'VE GOTTEN TO THIS POINT?
