W/o his Seerness we would have descended into the depths of despair, depravity, debauchery and disaster years ago. Woe to the fools that don't listen to the Gray Matter Guru of Greenburgh, the Seer from Southern Westchester, the Maven from Mount Moriah. He's all knowing, all hearing and able to understand what is way beyond the ken of others!<BR/><BR/>One thing is crystal clear, Big Ed sign's his pieces, so we are fully aware that his marvelous mundane mouthings are his own. Personally I have always thought that there were many Ed Krausses. No one can convince me that this one individual can have a monopoly on all the clearing-thinking out there. It would seem to any reasonable person that EK was an amalgam of all all of the great widsom makers from Bob Bernstein to Billy Joe Thornton. <BR/><BR/>Right on brother, keep on telling is like it is. Keep casting those pearls of wisdom before swine!<BR/><BR/>Omar Q.

Have you audited each and every department? Have you examined the checks and balances imbued in the system- if in fact there is a system- to prevent fraud or at least innocent misappropriation of money? Is there a paper trail for tracking purchases from start to finish? Is there a job review system in place so management can, objectively evaluate performance, or are we locked in to a union contract which puts a salary on a job description irrespective of need- yes NEED, or perfrmance? If a department head, supervisor (not that one) group or team head leaves for a better job, moves out of town, retires or is just fed up, is there someone on board who can pick up "the baton," and not lose a beat? Or, is there a need for a job search to replace a necessary midde management person, thus loosing time and clogging the wheels of this "well oiled" well run, organization?<BR/><BR/>How about the nonsense that we "get value for our tax dollars?" Through no fault of their own, the roads are filthy, the parks are in bad shape, the building department has gotten us into many law suits, the library construction project is all screwed up, the Anthony Veteran Park is in a negative cash flow...as is the TYCC, the new head of the planning department must have trained under Hillary Clinton,the tax assessor's department is sitting on a volcano ready to erupt but is guarding this information like "W's" weapons of mass destruction info, and we, the tax payers of unincorporated Greenburgh are looking at double digit tax increases for the forseeable future, with little or no fund balance (sucked up like the last drop of water in he canteen in the Sahara) and nothing but hollow atta-boys from someone who hides behind the ubiquitous "ANONYMOUS."<BR/><BR/>I have not expounded on all the "lack of well run problems," nor the "value for our tax dollar," bromides, but you heard it here first: THE SKY IS FALLING, and we'd better stop kidding ourselves with superfluous chestnuts, roll up our sleeves and DEMAND competent systems and external or internal management for our $70 million "business." <BR/><BR/>A recession is coming; sales taxes will be down; mortgage taxes will be down; interest income will be down and contributions to the NYS pension fund WILL BE UP! <BR/><BR/>So 3/31/08 6:06 PM and all who for some insane reason believe him, wake up; "the fit is ready to hit the shan.<BR/><BR/>Hooray for Ralph, I'm sure it was worth the time to post his altruistic contributions to the town, while more"mundane" items listed above could take a back seat.ed krausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884806213564738289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-19169332062923028632008-04-05T16:40:00.000-04:002008-04-05T16:40:00.000-04:00What Ralph saves the town is spent on overtime.Pau...What Ralph saves the town is spent on overtime.<BR/>Paul who are you trying to kid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-26350057402861533722008-04-01T10:18:00.000-04:002008-04-01T10:18:00.000-04:00It is nice to know we, the taxpayers, are getting ...It is nice to know we, the taxpayers, are getting value for our dollars.

It's definitely great that he does good work for this important job, and it's nice that you recognize him, but this type of employment is common for retirees to keep busy and to make a little extra spending cash.<BR/><BR/>P.S.
