  8. Love the "Fat Cat" even more than the inflatable rat of years past!

    Government is slow to embrace change, and Norco lives this to the fullest. Why change when "this is the way it's always been done."

    Lack of management talent has always been an issue in government, which is not famous for its compensation package, though medical is typically a good (great) plan.

    Norco is no exception. Lack of vision has caused the current problems since the days of Reibman. Stoffa was so opposed to conflict, or so he claimed, that he let the ship go adrift, while he watched the infighting.

    Gracedale was a disaster and never managed correctly, and it continues to have challenges mandated by the feds and their lower reimbursement rates. Another division left to twist in the wind.

    Brown claims that the employees are the only real assets, a line which I used in my tenure, and meant it.

    What is that old saying about actions speak louder than words?

    Norco is in the service industry, and the taxpayers are the customers. You'd never know it.

    Is this was a private company, it would have fallen to either bankruptcy, or a hostile takeover by now.

    There are solutions, many of which require decisive leadership and courage - let us hope to see some soon, and put the politics and waste behind us.

  10. As Judge Chamberlain Haller said in the movie, My Cousin Vinny:

    "That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out objection."

    In your case, not so much.

  12. You may be right, but let's keep it in context.

    How many unions were there in the Seyfried or Brackbill administrations?

    How were pay raises and benefits handled back then?

    How about now that there are 11 unions?

    The times may have changed, and yes, I concede that each administration had its own challenges to be sure.

  13. And, for the record, I do not have a huge portrait of myself in the XO's office, nor do I smoke cigars (or anything else).

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
