So..
We all know there are loads of Erie County Government employees skimming the site.
Are you one of the good workers that know where the bodies are buried?
Departments of waste? Employees that are druggies but seem to be overlooked? Employees that are no shows? Employees that are abnormally under qualified for the joe titles they were given?
The right people are reading the messagebaords. How about a little fact finding mission and root out what is hurting our community.

~WnyresidentBut your being a dick
IMO this will only be rumors. It maybe factual, but they will not be able to "prove" it as the supervisor would be called on the carpet about it and he will know that he/she will have to deny it unless he/she has been documenting any "no show" or slacker. County employees know this. If they do come forward it may be just a personality conflict and an easy way to put someone under the bus, at least for conversation purposes.Originally Posted by run4it

What if the Hokey-Pokey IS what it's all about?
consider: since Water authority is a bastion of patronage, do the folks connected to the water authority pay for their water bills ?
Why? So his administration knows where to start planting their people?How about giving Chris Collins some help? Where do you think waste is buried, patronage pits and other issues that need immediate attention?
One beautiful thing about having a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations is that every disaster is measured in terms of economic loss. It's sort of like getting your arm sheared off in a car accident and thinking, "Damn, now it'll take longer to fold the laundry" as blood spurts from your arteries. - The Rude Pundit
As a county employee, i wish chris luck. yes you can tell who is patronge and who is. Don't worry they all are well hidden including one of joel's secretaries. I had to take a exam to go to work for the county. many slipped in because of who they know . in fact i took a exam that required college credits, when i was called up i found a person in my office never took the exam . that stuff is reall annoying. i am sure chris will have friends that will get jobs , but hopefully not nearly as bad as joel. Remember joel said he would put the best qualified canidate. The guy that is in charge of the security guards for the county is friend of joel and can't even pass a exam. if he reappears we know their is patronage
Root the all out.. They will not be replaced by friends. They will be replaced by qualified people unless they are qualified to begin with.Originally Posted by wazooo86

The Parking Garage was another total turn over for Joel's friends from Day One. Thugs.
Mr. Collins:
Former County Legislator, Greg Falkner, is a supervisor at the Delaware Park Garage.
The position was given to him as a reward for serving one year as county
legislator, when John Greenan was made Personnel Director for the County
and they needed a stooge to fill the post for the clowns in West Seneca,
until the next election when (surprise) the republicans did not run opposition
to Democrat(former Republican) Tim Wroblewski. Hense, Wroblewski won
a two year term. Deal between Greenan and Paul Clark.
Falkner who owned Falkner Auto Repair in West Seneca, sold the business
to a former employee. But surprise, all COUNTY VEHICLES are sent over
to Falkner Auto Repair for NY STATE INSPECTIONS and repair if necessary
to pass inspection. BET you that $1- NO BID IS ON FILE.
Patronage alive and well !!!!!!!!!
So you're basically, by soliciting information on the location of "the bodies," you're starting a old tyme agrarian witch hunt, right? Will you burn them in front of the Rath building?Originally Posted by WNYresident
(If you happen to be part of the future Collins Admin. and your job is to oversee the purging of county government's more useless employees, I take that all back)

Mr.Collins should do as he said - examine work loads - chart production - educate - then eliminate.
But he should not be steered around on Patronage hunts - the slackers will show themselves - once work loads are shifted - their lack of knowledge and participation will be standing out like a beacon.(Sorry Mr.Giambra)
Focus on bringing in "Professionals" to help form long term - slow - documented productive change ! Attract new jobs businesses and new jobs.
Politicians need sounds bites to feed on and to get re-elected - Business Persons most show they can succeed threw newer , better approaches to failed past ideas.
We the tax payers are the "share holders" - our dividends should be smarter - more cost effective service delivery - and a little tax load stabilization would be acceptable to me !
Break the cycle of your guys out - my guys in. Start a new cycle of don't produce , you get educated or eliminated. -
Just my thoughts - witch hunts only lead to unusable Barbecue !
#Dems play musical chairs + patronage and nepotism = entitlement !
and if not....i better see wholesale changes within 9 months...or....we all know he is "business as usual" and i mean political business, not a well run one at that.Originally Posted by WNYresident

As a taxpayer that's exactly what you should want. As a free cheezer, its no wonder you'd be sensitive to anyone trying to reduce your cheese.Originally Posted by raoul duke
