There was a good reason Local Personality was kept out of city government, allowed to run around the edges of the circle but never allowed in. It took something like Lloyd Winnecke to see all that hidden talent and reward him with a job. Seems he’s become one of Santa’s main elves.
Is It true I am getting burned out about reading about the teamsters and EVSC on here everyday?
I can’t figure it out.
Bolin actually was in the news recently. He was defending another dirty cop whose son was along on a ride along and assaulted a citizen. It’s still a travesty Bolin has never had to answer for his criminal actions in the Milan case.
Was poking around the city Web site and saw a job opening with the word “senior” in the title that pays $8/hr. Could they be any more obtuse? Senior anything for $8/hr?
Maybe they meant ‘senõr’ and it was a weak outreach to fulfill their diversity obligations.
Teamster vs Evsc is intesting fodder the more you read makes you wonder about Doc Smiths and his Boards reasons for clamping up on negotiations. Really need to get back to table. They should be put in room with Whobrey and Voyles no outside interst Indy Attorney and forced to come out with an Agreement that works for both sides and the EVSC Employees and their families who seem to be forgotten sometimes in these negotiations. Like they have done so many times in the past. Keep articles coming the Electors need to know and be informed. Thank you C-CO
Then call David Smith and all the EVSC board members because they can easily stop it all by going back to the bargaining table! NOW!
Old DocDave and His Board have decided that they will not discuss or answer emails with the electors or employees but refer you to a Indy Lawyer they hired. What’s wrong with that picture they answer only to themselves.
Doc David has problem with the word Teamster period. Not a good trait when in his position and has 700 of them who voted to be represented by the Teamsters.
EVSC will be up the dirty creek when 700 employees call in sick the first day of school. Maybe ol ‘ Dave will have to hop in and drive a school bus…… opps ..can’t do that he don’t have a license.
Coures is a turd. He’d be a lot easier to deal with if he went back to drinking. At least he would have one coping skill to use when he doesn’t get his way. The dry drunk phase of his life is not pleasant for those who spend time with him.
