I guess we call that OTJT. Where can I get a gig like that? <br /><br />I'd like to tie in what Jack Smith said last night. Maybe the department heads need to be in attendance at the "open" meetings and maybe they should be held in the main room and answer questions, and accept praise or defend criticism from the people who are paying their salaries.<br /><br />The process as it stands now is: people complain, or ask questions, and generally get no answers.GI Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926052286620522481.post-85986437094725201152011-09-02T15:28:42.081-04:002011-09-02T15:28:42.081-04:00Yes but should county taxpayers be paying for her ...Yes but should county taxpayers be paying for her to be the city spokesman or should she just be consulting?
