That's only the beginning. What about the benefits? That will total more than 98,000 dollars per year.
Ben writes a letter to the editor by slamming the current city council of which I don't disagree about, but it's nothing but a smoke screen covering his idea about hiring another person for a staff position. Really? A person to find ways for permanent revenue streams? This means, Ben, you can't figure out ways yourself!
Yes, Ben! That change is Mr. Samuel Anderson for Mayor!
You and Willie share the same Kiwanis and have done so for many years. You and Willie both are retired from the City of Manteca with a generous salary to boot. Both have had several years of the same items holding this city back and you've done nothing about it. But now you've repented and want to make amends? You still want to spend which means more taxes. NO THANKS! We've had enough of former city employees running this city.
You have not even given a SINGLE reason why we should spend $98,000 on a full-time 'staff person'. Again, another city job created out of thin air. The only permanent revenue stream would be that persons salary. There is no evidence to the contrary that even begins to solidify your theory of such a position.
Samuel Anderson predicted this fall-out years ago before you even ran. He was right on the money each and every time. He was the first to suggest a 'rainy day fund', not Steve DeBrum. He's also against spending more than we have and find better solutions which Mayor Weatherford started doing by taking the ideas from Samuel's website.
Your title is simply a smoke screen to slam the city council and I'll say it again, it does not address any proven reason to hire a staff person to research and find ways for permanent revenue streams.
HECK! There are plenty of folks in this city that can do that already, and with Mr. Anderson's open door policy and plan to create committees on this, he'll soon enough find ways to have it all done. Yes, it's time for a change and a new focus to get away from those who worked for the city that do nothing but tax and spend our money.
