They seem to work better in shorter segments.<BR/><BR/>Anyone thinking that town gov't won't be downsized must be counting on a surprise visit from Santa Claus. I don't want to see ANYONE losing their job. I know all too intimately what that is like. But there just isn't any $ out there to use.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment. I get bored talking to myself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403055132710223869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24140588.post-56113212685851368162009-03-19T19:40:00.000-04:002009-03-19T19:40:00.000-04:00Outstanding article, Eileen!

Not a big deal & it has certainly been done before. The consequences- generally, a verbal rap on the hand.<BR/><BR/>The last article will deal will possible solutions. I had to get through all the other stuff to actually see if there was a problem & review what other groups are doing. It also requires me to do a lot of thinking & informal discussion rather than reviewing of data.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully- tomorrow or Monday.

Really, though, who really wants to do that? <BR/><BR/>Call the senior center board members/director? Well, it appears they are central to the issue. <BR/><BR/>Call the council members/administrator? They hire/appoint the people who control the center. In addition, they approve the budget, thereby implicitly approving of their non-compliance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
