Thanks WwkVoter.
It’s refreshing to hear from an individual who can be objective and is willing to look at both sides of this debate without resorting to the typical character assassination of one who cannot defend a contrary position.
However you and I coming to that conclusion doesn’t mean we want “people to assume the worst about all public employees” as the former Avedisian administration official, reaping the benefits of the existing system, suggests.
To the contrary.
It means, being willing to open yourself up by taking on a public sector job and using your expertise as a consultant working with Fortune 500 companies, by implementing a process improvement model in your hometown government’s building and permitting department to spur new economic activity that will flourish in a less expensive, expedited time frame without the governmental RED TAPE associated with existing construction permitting process.
It means sacrificing a self made highly profitable private sector business for a short period of time to run for office and call attention to future problems and propose difficult solutions that call on mutual sacrifice from all parties to solve those problems so that they will not inevitable result in future harm to society.
It means wanting a better educational system for our children.
It means wanting better social service programs for the elderly and those in need.
It means wanting better roads and infrastructure.
It means redirecting our limited resources on current city employees who are performing these services today rather than spending almost 50 cents of every new tax dollars collected on past employees who performed services in the past.
And it also means being fair to retired employees by providing reasonable retirement packages that are sustainable without bankrupting all other city and educational programs and services
I guess when you are reaping the benefits from a corrupt system, the last thing you want is for someone to continue to point out that those benefits are unsustainable and destroying this city.
I will conclude any further commentary by once again thanking you for your objective assessment.
