too much experience?

While its true that a lack of experience, good judgement, and qualifications are problems that have faced the City in their past hiring situations, it did NOT stop them from hiring those without the aforementioned credentials! A case could be made that city employees have TOO MUCH experience- making handshake deals instead of contracts, fabricating resume checks and various other things, giving away the use of city facilities for pennies on the dollar, being clueless regarding City revenues and how they were derived, overpaying 300% and more for City construction projects, repeated change orders and cost overruns,and taking over TWO years to complete a 4-month project, among other snafus. Maybe we just need to wipe the slate clean and start over.
