In the SB Sentinel this week, Tom Schwab said that ". . . his twenty-five years of overseaing the city's finances and operations gives him a more comprehensive understanding of the fiscal reality facing the city than anyone else in the race or currently in office."
Let's see . . .
Is it payroll administration and tax knowledge? NO
Is it the ability to balance the General Fund budget without "borrowing" from the RDA? NO
Is it using the RDA to bring the Outdoor Adventure Center to reality? NO
Is it knowing how to systematically inflate his retirement salary at tax payer expense? YES!
You be the judge. Can Grand Terrace afford Tom Schwab's return?
A GT Resident
Answer from GrandPa:
Dear Resident,
Grand Terrace Can Not afford Tom Schwab's return, or a continuance of his faulty Administration and Management practices. It is earnestly hoped that Betsy Adams and a new Mayor and council members, will continue to scrub and clean up the mess left behind by Schwab/Berry and others. Let's hope it can be done with out GT having to be in Chapter 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Court. It would help if the city could have the high retirement package Schwab snarled for himself reviewed by the State and Federal Agencies to see if it can be reduced to a proper amount.
