I absolutely agree with you. This little community can be a nasty behind the back community and the government is worse. Just look at the way past employees have been treated. Char Grossman just to name one. She did the job Dave Lang did and with fewer people. Now that Dave Lang's contract is on this site imagine what I was thinking about a month ago when Dave Lang hinted at a pay equity study. Now I am not a rocket scientist but I would bet the first thing an examiner would criticize the city for would be the favoritism to the male. What Dave Lang, in comparison to what the women have received, would definitely be written up.
No, I am wrong. Mr. Lang would write up a make believe job description up, send it to the League and have the city attorney approve it.
Reliable sources are saying that the police issue was contrived by the Mayor to discredit the police department so that the department could be discredited before John Cunningham leaves. He needs Cunningham's vote before John resigns. I hear that will be before the first of June.
If you listen to the Mayor on the radio he continues to believe that the attack on the police department was justified despite the fact the police commission cleared the Chief.
Despite the police commission ruling the radio has continued its blind support of the Mayor and it will be interesting to see what page the Ortonville Independent will bury the clearing of the police chief.
There was an agenda when this attack began and the mayor will not let the facts or the law stand in the way. If the Mayor can find the facts, Mr. Lang will do the minutes in a fashion that is a bold faced misrepresentation.
It was interesting at the meeting that Mr. Lang did not have any past minutes to pass. Perhaps there were too many people present to attempt to pass minutes that were inaccurate. I am quite sure that Ms. Grossman could take accurate minutes for a lower price and she wouldn't charge the city extra because she wants to work only 40 hours a week. The problem is Mr. Lang can't have her keep the notes and pay her less because that is a pay equity violation.
Bottom line is the three stooges want the police department shut down and the best interests of the city does not matter. so long as Mr. Lang, Mr. Ash and Mr. Johnson get paid.
