Bottom line is taxes will increase. Spending will increase. Salaries and cost of benefits will increase.
Theres a fair number of employees who will be ready to retire soon - just watch the Overtime roster. They now have two more years to stack the deck and jump ship.
Supervisor Giza has just about maxed out on what he can take with him. Mrs Coleman is in the same position. Thats part of the reason for all the extra job titles and paychecks - it averages into their life time tax funded retirement checks.
Call it a dog and pony show - smoke and mirrors - what ever - its Lancaster and thats the way they have done it for over twenty five years. The silent majority in this Town don't care. The majority of those who vote are tied to someone who receives either a pay check from the Town or their serving their self interests.
Again bottom line - we will pay more - they will receive more and the beat goes on. My sincere thanks to those like Lee that have the personal strength and community devotion - they are truly our watch dogs.
Thank You all for trying to keep then honest!
