.......control of "The Jobs in this City"!
You are probably onto something getalife123! The ducks are lining up even though there are many fence-sitters and double agents playing them all!
They ALL want control of the jobs...and promotions are the really BIG deal that goes along with it. Sadly the silent majority sit by the sidelines and let it go on because they feel it is a monster with too many heads ......... Or they don't care enough about it so they just look the other way.
J. M. probably makes a good $50 grand with Cadillac benefits at LMHA and he uses his $55.00 a pop paycheck when he serves a warrant as one of the 2 Lackawanna City Marshall's as his petty cash.
I know people who would love a City Marshall position, going to college to try to break into Law Enforcement.....why just 10 evictions/week = $550.00! I am not against anyone working their job, BUT working for the City and Schools--Housing and City--County and City.....is GREED and it is NOT FAIR to other struggling people! Why they advertise for cleaners, etc. in other communities in the Penny Saver.....have you ever seen a classified ad for a cleaner position in Lackawanna?
They grew up with the "anything goes" "what's in it for me" mindset.......if it wasn't true OUR School rankings would have never plummeted over the past 16 years and we would be flourishing. Father Baker would cringe if he knew the greed going on here.........sadly, he must have felt some of it, remember he wanted to name us "Victoria or Victoryville". He tried to fight off the tycoons from naming us "Lack"awanna, but their money spoke louder than the voice of the "Padre of the Poor." (He got the last laugh in though didn't he?!)
Does anyone know what our Lackawanna School District rankings were from say 1985-2000?
How are the employees who work for any Lackawanna government entity NOT in the clique' handling all the unfairness? Favoritism is wrong---firing someone and replacing them with a "connected" person is beyond sickening! I hear it goes on a lot and this is how the machine feeds itself. Dead bodies....wake up and start talking. I still can't get over that "connected" woman who works 60/hrs/week between the City and School because her Father told me J. M. couldn't find anyone else. And then when she went out sick recently her substitute was the wifey of the scorned School Board member who left abruptly for unknown reasons! Oh please!
What a nice gig he/they have going on off the backs of our Children and Citizens (many are Seniors on very limited incomes to boot!)
