no problem, Gym

Not following the hiring policies and procedures is just ANOTHER failure on Gyms part and his way of thumbing his nose at the Council and Mayor. To allow that disrespect and disregard by the Mayor and Council is THEIR failure. The nose thumbing and disrespect by the City Manager to the Council has been richly deserved over the years, as they have failed to supervise and oversee the City Manager since he has been here, allowing him to do whatever he wanted however he wanted. Handshake deals at the pool- no problem Gym! Give away city facilities for a fraction of what they are worth- no problem, Gym! Pay TRIPLE the going rates for the bathrooms- not a big problem, Gym. Pay $600 a square foot for the CC enclosure- no problem. FORGET to include water, electrical, and plumbing connections to the new bathrooms- no problem. Pay $33,000 for a sewer hookup to the bathrooms that should have cost $5,000- no problem, Gym. Pay $38,000 to elevate the bathrooms that anybody else could have had done in one day for 6k- no problem. Pay $414,000 for the bathrooms that SHOULD have cost $140,000 (which includes a fat 25% profit for the contractor)- no problem. The Mayor and Council has had NO PROBLEM wasting our tax monies by the TRUCKLOADS! No problem, Gym. When the monies run low, we will just raise their taxes and fees! No Problem! The taxpayers may whine and complain but, DONT WORRY! We know what is best for them and really DONT want or need them to rack their brains deciding anything in an election! WE will decide whats best for them! No matter WHAT the cost! The costs are immaterial! Of NO real consequence to us! No problem, Gym. After all, its NOT like its OUR personal money disappearing now, is it?
