Gymbos giveaways

I have know Paul Dotson for years as found him to be an honest and smart guy with a LOT of experience and common sense. He has brought up several times in the past the City Managers secrecy and lack of transparency, horrible construction performance, misleading statements, and failure to respond in a timely fashion to requests by residents, and himself. All of that SHOULD have been duly noted at that time- agreed. The good things Gym has accomplished should also have been noted at that time, like..... uh... well.. it only took TWO YEARS to get the bathrooms built, and uh.... the only cost TRIPLE what they should have cost.... and.. we finally DID get water, sewer, and electric connections to those bathrooms! Yeah ! Hooray for Gym!!! And at only 300% to 400% more than they usually cost anybody else!! To those naysayers out there who say he is a horrible and deceptive manager and control freak I say, take that! Yes, Gymbo gets things done! And he has NEVER quibbled about paying several hundred thousand EXTRA dollars in the process to GET them done! Git 'er done, Gymbo! Unemployment at a 14 yr high? Gymbo helps reduce that number by hiring his high school buddy for 100K! What a guy! Naysayers may say that everyone else in the country is REDUCING their payrolls, and only if absolutely necessary, hiring people with real qualifications and experience, but not Gym! Those details do NOT stand in HIS way! He stands resolute against the economic facts and figures that might concern the average guy. He discerned early on that, if we are going to be able to pay for all the legacy projects the Council would like to have, our taxes and fees were WAY too low, and recommended that they be raised. Yep, Gymbo DOES get things done.
