They can consolidate the sanitation department into the TOH, not a great option based on history unless Kate and crew leave or consolidate into the county. They best answer is for the Oceanside residents to wake up and get get new commissioners.Changehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365102957336691334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14091116.post-34867457934683782662009-12-09T16:56:14.882-05:002009-12-09T16:56:14.882-05:00Anonymous is correct.

Where's the shared sacrifice?<br /><br />Can someone please stand up and hold these fat cats accountable? <br /><br />Where are the Democrats on all this? Why doesn't Jay Jabobs stand up and say something? How about Suozzi? He's a bright guy with nothing to lose at this point.

Kate Murray claims that she "has the highest degree of respect for taxpayers' wallets." But none of that is credible until and unless either one demonstrates that they're willing to show some backbone when it comes to these abusive special districts - not very likely given how important special districts are as a source of patronage. It's not enough to play the game Murray plays, implying that she can't be responsible for them. At the very least she should be speaking out against this crap, to say nothing of the fact that the Town ought to be actively consolidating municipal services. Instead all she's done all these years is sit on her duff. And as far as Mangano is concerned, he gets some benefit of the doubt pending his transition to the County Executive's job, but not for long.Questionauthoritynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14091116.post-86990179510807971902009-12-09T10:53:04.957-05:002009-12-09T10:53:04.957-05:00"I think it's in line with what other peo..."I think it's in line with what other people with that experience are making."<br /><br />Meaning his experience regarding his relationship to a republican leader? I would have to agree with that. <br /><br />I know its small compared to Scarlatta’s salary but I don’t think Oceanside is getting much bang for their buck from those 5 commissioners. They should just let Scarlatta determine his own benefits and save taxpayers the $8000 per year they are paying . That appears to be pretty much the case anyway.Changehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365102957336691334noreply@blogger.com
