Grow up. I am by no means a Cusick fan, but this presentation was not made to him, but a Council committee chaired by Matt Dietz. I have quoted what Bob Werner said, and he spoke for everyone. Matt Dietz is very new, and has never held elective office. I will find plenty of reasons to criticize him, but this is not one of them. Kevin was treated with courtesy and respect by a council that appreciated what his department does.

At the end of Dolan's remarks, Bob Werner said, "We appreciate what you do. We really do. I have a lot of respect for your 125 people out there." Though he did not say "thank you," I think it is quite clear that he was very grateful for Dolan and his staff.

Perhaps those who worked and retired in the 1970's had that as a benefit when medical benefits were relatively inexpensive, but that stopped a LONG time ago. Paul Carpenter of the Morning Call finally gave up his Rhetoric and list of lies/half truths...perhaps you might want to do the same. Gary W.

They have a thankless job. CYF caseworkers see the horrors of child abuse on a nearly daily basis, and have to face threats from dysfunctional parents. I hope that at the end of Kevin's presentation, at least one member of council thanked him and his staff for their dedication and importance to the fabric of our society.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
