Things are not cut and dry, there are many variables that need to be taken into account. Should we not first look at the functions, streamline the process and see how the current workers given the same constraints can perform?

I realize that you may not be able to fix the pass<br /><br /> However council could take further aggressive steps to ease the burden in the future. They should be privatizing the golf course, the grass cutting, the skate rink and skate park as well as the city garage. <br /><br />This would be a much more valuable use of their time and power instead of the wasted weeks they spent nit picking the vendor ordinance while a struggling small business man tried to eke out a living..Uncle Remusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-71370586794455237082013-02-13T18:51:09.860-05:002013-02-13T18:51:09.860-05:00"Just saying cause the whole Thode family is ...<em>"Just saying cause the whole Thode family is coming across as a bunch of entitled, bratty, assholes.

I know the family a little, and they are good, hard-working and extremely intelligent people.<br /><br />I have seen some of the trial, and it strikes me that LU academia is a bunch of snobs who had it in for this girl, possibly bc she is Steve's daughter. Their goal is to crucify them in the press. <br /><br />LU's legal team is feeding stuff to the press, and some of it is not part of the record. It is their goal to make Thode look ridiculous and Lehigh look good. In Court, it's a different story LU just lost a motion for a directed verdict. <br /><br />I'm not predicting a winner, but you cannot really argue intelligently about this matter unless you spend some time there.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-69162182672152012332013-02-13T14:36:04.428-05:002013-02-13T14:36:04.428-05:00"Chis is a successful small business owner wh..."Chis is a successful small business owner who will cut the pork out of city government and make the budget kosher, i for one will relish in his election but worry it will affect the quality of his homemade sauerkraut"<br /><br />this is worthy of some kind of awardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-75339027588490883692013-02-13T13:47:33.024-05:002013-02-13T13:47:33.024-05:00Just saying cause the whole Thode family is coming...Just saying cause the whole Thode family is coming across as a bunch of entitled, bratty, assholes.
