Barny K has a Point... It is time to Down Size GT Gov

The most interesting thing said at tonight's City Hall meeting may have been during the Public Comments. Barny Karger said that there people paid for work that could be contracted out for much less than the city is paying for the mini empire of clerks and accountants now in city hall.

This city was to contract for services not have a bunch of employees and all the empire building. In addition with 37 applicants to the City Manager's Job it is time the cost of that job be reduced to be reflective of this being a small city.

Barny Karger also pointed out that everyone including the City Attorney had full awareness that Jim Miller as a Council Member was voting to approve payments to the City News for services negotiated for by staff. They are all party to the conflict if one existed and if not they should all send a letter of support of Jim Miller to the DA's Office.

He also characterized the Former City Managers Schwab and Berry, as leading to this point of "bad management" which the City Council has supported for way to long.
