The Town of Greenburgh did not receive a resume from Raymond Thomas before entering into a contract that will pay him more than $335,000 to run the Town's "after school" program. This also means that Sonya Brown lied at the last town board meeting when she stated publicly that the town of course received a resume from Mr. Thomas.<BR/><BR/>What does it mean for the Town to hire Mr. Thomas without a resume? It means that the Town has hired someone without a college degree to hire and train teachers. It means that the Town has accepted Mr. Thomas's representation that he served in the Air Force, even though it doesn't know when he served, what rank he held, and whether he was discharged honorably (assuming he served at all). <BR/><BR/>It means that the Town has no way of knowing if Mr. Thomas ever worked at Kodak or DEC, as he said. <BR/><BR/>It's not clear whether Paul Feiner or Sonja Brown was responsible for hiring Mr. Thomas. But given the criminal investigation already underway at the Community Center regarding the improper payment of funds by the acting director -- whose appointment both Feiner and Brown engineered earlier this year and strongly backed -- it seems this latest Xposure scandal is just another part of the town's waste and mismanagement. <BR/><BR/>The real victims here are the children who participate in the after-school program. Thanks to Feiner and Brown, they are the ones really getting the shaft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-2170654077055328862008-10-02T10:17:00.000-04:002008-10-02T10:17:00.000-04:00How about the community that it serves stepping up...How about the community that it serves stepping up and giving something back like VOLENTEERING so that we don't have to pay (or have stolen) some salaries.<BR/><BR/>It's a take, take all of the time.

The selection must be made by a scientifically valid method and all drivers covered by this rule must have an equal chance of being tested. The names of drivers who are selected for testing must be kept confidential until such time that the carrier notifies the driver to take the test. Once the driver is notified, he/she must immediately proceed to the testing facility and undergo testing. Every driver’s name that is selected for testing must be returned to the selection pool so that all drivers have an equal chance of being selected at any time. <BR/>Random alcohol testing is also required by the DOT.
