Post in Mayor Coleman - Please explain

Interesting letter john.

Your questions about the why may seem to be a realistic challenge to a
personnel decision.  However, calling for the suspension of a public employee
because you think that somehow the employee isn't performing can only be
described as posturing.

I can tell you, that if you ever tried to do what you request the Mayor to do
you would find a workforce that would quickly stop performing.

I respectfully disagree with your recent actions concerning Public Works
Director Bruce Beese.

We are still waiting for your explanation, as to why you recently gave Bruce
Beese, director of public works, a $5,000 pay raise after his annual job
performance review in light of Beese's overspending of his department's budget
by $4.2 million!

Your proposed budget fix is to cut preventive maintenance of our streets.
Delaying preventive maintenance on our streets will only lead to higher repair
and maintenance costs in the future.  Council Member Dan Bostrom also raised
this same issue during the city council meeting.  This are cost our children
will have to pay for.

I again call upon you to immediately suspend Bruce Beese, to start an
investigation into the mismanagement of city funds and to rescind his pay
increase.

This overspending by Mr. Beese who has an accounting background will result in
service cuts elsewhere in the city and is a total waste of tax dollars.

Sincerely,
