Once again we can be reminded of the old saying that “Figures
do not lie, but liars figure”
I must take Dan’s word for it since I can not open or
download any of the support material for the Ordinances and Resolutions on AJ’s
posted agenda.
Apparently, Administration would privatize the 911 operators as
a “money saving” operation.
Shades of the outsourcing of the Engineering Department, or
the abolishment of the Animal Control section in favor of a Newark service. Consider
the delegation of legal matters from a full time Corporation Counselor to numerous
‘outside contractors”.
Have we had an independent accounting to show that the
above actions have saved the city money? NO! In fact, I would bet that the
costs have been greater but we have never had a sworn to comparison accounting.
It was Senator Booker when he first ran for city office against
the notorious Sharpe James machine who describe d that city’s government as a “corrupt favor dispensing fiefdom.”
Does Plainfield fit that description? Could Mapp be making Jerry Green, famous as a
patronage dispenser, seem to be a piker? Would this Council question?
