Stop lining your pockets at tax payer expense.Jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911830315140428673.post-18987693595244435482015-11-13T13:35:32.977-05:002015-11-13T13:35:32.977-05:00Rebranding translates to propagandizing. The only ...Rebranding translates to propagandizing. The only way to alter people's perception is through the public's pocketbook. The potential for meaningful cost reduction is now, as it has ben, through reduction in staff by attrition and retirement, consolidation of locations, and monitoring the wanton employment of consultants, attorneys and subcontractors. Until the Commissioners get under the sheets, that is, study the books, and apply hands on reviews, rather than perfunctorily appearing once a month and accepting what they are told, no meaningful reform will occur. It is doubtful that a majority of the Commissioners could pass an exam given on the content of the Inter Local Agreement which is the foundation of their authority. <br />Bill KruseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911830315140428673.post-44027643164506570432015-11-11T12:07:38.924-05:002015-11-11T12:07:38.924-05:00The best and only rebranding necessary is to be op...The best and only rebranding necessary is to be open about disposal costs and tonnage figures, breakout all the data underlying the Shared System Service Fee for common areas, adhere to the letter of the Inter Local Agreement, credit ratepayers for the past illegal commissioner compensation, fire its auditing firm Lerch Vinci & Higgins, and reduce administrative overhead that is among the very highest of all MUAs in the entire state. No apps, propaganda, outside municipal contracts, or environmental fairs, will ever offset high rates and the PMUA-brand of obfuscation. Alan Goldsteinnoreply@blogger.com
