Where's the story about the whole intersection being reconstructed? It's in the process but what's the status? Yet the Patch continues to report these minor injury accidents, bulls crossing the road, ducks crossing the road, buses causing traffic delays. Inform the public as to how improvements are in progress and how the fire district spends tax funds.
Shannon, when will you start reporting on how the fire district spends 11% of the property tax bills for people who live in the fire district. The spending of the tax dollars has a far bigger impact than these stories you post on ducks, bulls, and minor to no injury accidents. Next meeting is this Tuesday night. I doubt Deputy Fire Chief Jon Stratton will be so fast to call and tell you how they spent their money.

Fireman, you are the greatest

FF1921 can you clarify your 11% comment? The way it reads it doesn't seem so bad to me so I'm clearly not understanding it becasue based on thsi and some of your other posts you are clearly upset about something. I just can't figure out what. Even a link to a different article where you explain what you telling us would be appreciated.

I am just wondering how long this suspense filled soap opera will continue? Bottom line: HurtadoRead More knew his buddy needed a job...so; he and his majority board members made a mockery of local government due process and gave Mr. Peck a job, even though Hurtado voted with the past board to unanimously select an Exec…who is still under a contract. And then decided there was a need to pay a board secretary (who jumped out of the frying pan…smart move) and then appointed someone without pay. And of course there is a need to have a paid political hack to help publicly spin the board’s craziness via press releases.

I hate to ask the obvious of Mr. Peck (not that I expect him to answer anyway), but why is thisRead More announcement coming from the Executive Director rather than our newly appointed Director of Communications?
Bad News Bears June 18, 2013 at 02:53 pm
Mr. Peck, please answer 2 questions for me: 1. If you are cutting $800K but AdministrativeRead More Salaries are up over $118K, where are the cuts coming from. I have always been a patron of the Park District and want to know which of my programs your skimming off to pay yourself and Mr. Booth. 2. "Our staff deserves a lot of credit for this budget,” Peck said, “as their efforts to hold the line wherever possible have led to our success on behalf of District residents." Is reducing hours of employees the way you reward your staff now? I'm very upset that you honestly thought that cutting loyal employees hours instead of offering benefits was a good idea. I have a better one, cut the hours of Mr. Booth who has an unnecessary job and use his pay and salaries to offset the 4 loyal part-time workers. I will not hold my breath for your answers since answering questions to the people who pay your salary isn't on your to do list
