Scanning over the document, I found the listings for the community centers. Interestingly, Haskell was not listed. At the time the budget was set, it wasn't in the plans, but Walling made the big announcement that it was open, and a ministation. So, where's the money to operate it coming from? I know it's open; I see the PAL van and some cars there every day. |

The city also needs to be very careful with the grant money for the south side task force. There are very specific requirements attached to the money, & if not followed, the city will have to repay it. So far, it doesn't appear that the requirements are being adhered to. |

I see the Mayor's hard at work on the budget deficit. From his twit site....

Kincaid was correct . The task force is not being run as a cohesive unit and they are not having meetings with the FBI, Prosecutors office and Sheriff Dept to rectify this. Bossman may have been a prophet when he predicted the task force would be on paper only. City will have to pay back money if this problem is not corrected soon. |

Webs, I'm no prophet, just seeing the operations "first hand". Now we have layoff threats.....er.....mistakes. This administration believes it can do the same kind of underhanded dealings as all the previous administrations and get away with it because they aren't perceived in the same light. I believe that is starting to change. Until they stop wasting money on political and personal favors, we are headed toward receivership or bankruptcy on a fast track. |

Did the "mistakes" come from the Human Resources department? |

I thought Dayne Walling would balance our budget and keep us in the black? |

I wonder if he balances his checkbook at home, or does he have his wife do it?

Dave, 2 separate emails from 2 separate people. Both in the Labor Relations/Human Resources Department. One was from Poplar herself. |

Sounds like City Hall has turned into a clusterfark. |

Poplar blamed the "mistake" on too many people getting involved in the contract negotiation process. I haven't quite figured out how others were to blame when one of the emails came from her personally. ](*,) |

That's easy - it ALWAYS someone else's fault. |
