Also, he has a clear case to sue the Mayor over since she choose to disclose his private medical information at the July 10th 2006 Council Meeting.<BR/><BR/>Actually, as I understand it, the Treasurer has not been paid her salary in nearly 3 months. However, I imagine she will be forced to sue the city to get properly paid as well so we will know for sure once that action is filled.<BR/><BR/>I understand that the Mayor refused to pay her salary when the Treasurer refused to sign the check the Mayor wanted issued to Ben Branch for his time as our Chief of Police. The Treasurer rightly refused to sign it because the man was never legally hired in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Now rumor has it that the Mayor has submitted Mr. Rudman's Bill, with her now classic saying "we must pay the bills".<BR/><BR/>Well the council never authorized mr Rudman's representation of the Mayor to start with and at the last council meeting they specifically voted 5-2 NOT to pay him. I expect the treasurer will rightly refuse to pay that one as well.<BR/><BR/>I have no issue with the Mayor Choosing her own Attorney, that is her right. But it is not her right to ask the residents to pay for him without the approval of their elected representatives, the City Council.Overland Sailorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12801651499053477245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1156943194545202182006-08-30T08:06:00.000-05:002006-08-30T08:06:00.000-05:00Mr. Boone went back to the city garage, he was doing the job of PW Director but never got paid for it.<BR/>Don't blame him for that.<BR/><BR/>I think the deal with the treasurer is, ( now I could be wrong about this)the person got paid for the job of treasurer, but not the expense account.<BR/><BR/>Hear say is the pay is around seven hundred dollars a month, plus one hundred and ninety nine dollars and ninety nine cents for expense.<BR/><BR/>You see this was another patronage issue. The board made up a rule that if you spent two dollars or more you had to turn in receipts in order to get reimbursed.<BR/><BR/>I think the Mayor would like to see proof that money was really spent. But there is a rule on the books that states the amount and it is legal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1155915966671440462006-08-18T10:46:00.000-05:002006-08-18T10:46:00.000-05:00As far as I know, the Treasurer has yet to be paid.<BR/><BR/>It seems there is no end to the Mayor and her "handlers" willingness to ignore the law and put the city at risk of a lawsuit.<BR/><BR/>However, as always, I am willing to listen to their side of it, so long as they are willing to answer my questions and provide source references as requested.Overland Sailorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12801651499053477245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1155914897138086112006-08-18T10:28:00.000-05:002006-08-18T10:28:00.000-05:00Klawrn,<BR/><BR/>Mr. Boone was basically demoted to the garage over on Page.twolayerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07331670066896976728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1155907119502906232006-08-18T08:18:00.000-05:002006-08-18T08:18:00.000-05:00And where the heck is Mr. Boone?KLawRNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313464641575294719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1155907004771711522006-08-18T08:16:00.000-05:002006-08-18T08:16:00.000-05:00Excellent post. Good research. Does anyone have any info on the status of the officers that got the promotions and raises, then lost them? Will they stay with the city? <BR/><BR/>And what of the treasurer? Has she been paid?KLawRNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313464641575294719noreply@blogger.com
