These things I have presented are only a start, but they could save millions. I am not going to be repetitive by bringing up all the savings ideas I have mentioned in the past, such as a highly paid and un-needed City Administrator, a Triumvirate at the top of DPW where we only need one person. The good old boy system is alive and well in the City of Racine and it resides at the highest level of the bureaucracy. How many millions are wasted up in that stratosphere?
All in all there is a lot of money to be saved for the taxpayers. The only question is who will do it and when will it get done. Since the 1970 census, we have lost 16,000 residents as a result of current practices.
It’s time to re-tool, re-organize and get those 16,000 people back.

Now that the City Attorney's Office has determined that Contracts were made to be broken : "Deputy City Attorney Scott Letteney, lead union labor negotiator for the city, said last year he believed that Act 10 would nullify the Local 67 contract, for 2011-2012 and 2013-2014, at the end of the first term in 2012. He couldn’t be reached for comment Friday afternoon."
ReplyDeleteMaybe the City Attorney's Office could begin looking at voiding City Administrator Tom Friedel's contract and voiding the Contract that is paying John Dickert's legal bills!
