Topeka City government

Our Local Government::

I guess our city politics is no different than any other local government.

WE, and I use the word, “WE” to mean ALL of us reading this blog. As taxpaying citizens, we are to keep our PUBLIC officials accountable for their fiscal responsibilities.

Last night I witnessed just that.

Joe Ledbetter, a conferee, spoke about monies that are sitting in a fund called GO TOPEKA This fund could be used to help Topeka’s infrastructure and consequently keep us from encountering yet another TAX increase.

Brett Blackburn, my councilperson, also spoke up concerning this matter.

I applaud both Brett and Joe for bringing this up to the public.

This taxpayer wants to know WHY this money is NOT being used more efficiently?

I heard Mr. Bunten explain that this money is reserved for potential businesses settling in our great city. Does the Topeka Chamber of Commerce know about this money? I’ll bet the chamber is well aware. What’s the big secret?

Once again, I applaud Mr. Ledbetter in bringing this to the public.

I also applaud those who are running for public office. I have written many web pages about my experiences as a mayoral candidate back in 2005.

My campaign pledge then was:

‘IF ELECTED MAYOR, I PROMISE TO DO NOTHING”

You can reach Sally and I by visiting us on the web at:

I will now post this letter to my public blog.

The thing about Joe is that once he gets his mind set on something he doesn't let it go. I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict he won't let this one go either...

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona

Subject: SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! To: Others should take heed of the effectiveness of Sheriff Joe. If this type response to crime were adopted, believe the crime rate would drop like a rock; our taxes would be much lower; the Fed budget could probably be balanced in no time flat! Subject: SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb. Well.......... SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe! Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay. The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyo

FIRED!

7/30/2008 7:53:33 AM FIRED! Yes Indeed, I got Fired! Let me explain. From my writings above, Sally & I attended an all high school reunion in Bruce SD. So I filled out a leave slip (TWICE) to leave July 21-25, 2008. I turned my request for leave in much earlier and trusted that my team manager, Paul Miller, would sign the form and approve this request. I even remember visiting with the three of us when I was “counseled” once for not telling a customer the right info. I explained to them that we were planning to leave this last week and I would be willing to work with Alorica on Saturdays to make up the difference. The chief operating manager told me verbally he would happy to approve any leave and if I wanted to make up the hours I could do so. So I take Alorica’s word for what they tell me. I do NOT even think about getting any written agreements. What ever happened to trust? Forget it! So I proceed to make up the hours I’d be missing and arrive outside my scheduled hour
