Hey Moe "How you spell horticulture ??" Shut up dummy !!! |
The "Green Team" was an idea created and funded by the City council. In their dissatisfaction with mainly the new manager's qualifications the council hinted early on at de-funding the position but have since backed off and now are looking at re-organizing the team. The main critics of the Green Team on the council are Ed (Moe) Zastawny and Nathan (Curly Joe) Samuel neither of whom probably knows the difference between a rose and a dandelion... Moe Z. wants the new manager to take a test that only 50 people in the whole world have passed, as a requirement for the manager's job. Curly Samuel said "the bottom line is, let's have awesome looking landscaping." "We want to impress people."
This another of many cases where the "want to bes" on the council are attempting to overstep their bounds and duties. The council's duties are to pass ordinances and fund government and government services. They are NOT the branch of government that hires employees or over sees departments or department heads. They are clearly stepping beyond their scope of what a councilman is required by law to do.
It is totally asinine to require an employee in a landscaping position to pass a test and get a horticulture certification that only 50 people in the world presently have. It's ridiculous, which along with other recent decisions shows you the mentality of this particular councilman and the council as a whole.
As for Curly Samuel we are already "impressing people" with the unsightly mess called a landscaping job along the 10 th St. medians...done by one of his comrades on the council Dennis "Green Thumbs" Julius. Yeah people we the taxpayers got screwed to the tune of about 2 million dollars for that fiasco....
The city needs to hire non tax paying mexicans like walnut ridge uses. Put about 100 on the green team and problem solved.
ReplyDeleteThat's not fair. Some of the WR workers are from Guatemala.
ReplyDeleteUnless the landscaping is maintained by Walnut Ridge, they will never be happy.
ReplyDeleteThis is just another case of the council playing election year politics. Like last night's delaying of the 10th St. widening project this council will do whatever they can to delay or make any of mayor Moore's projects or decisions look bad. Like HT has said in the past there is no love lost between the council and the mayor. Pretty sure the majority of the council will support Julius including most of the council Rep.s, so we can expect more of the same tactics through election day and any and most progress will be put on hold until then.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely hire mexicans, white people are lazy.
ReplyDeleteI don't think a 100 people could maintain this mess...It's overgrown to the point where it can't be maintained...Bushhog it down and start from scratch IMO

ReplyDeleteThe plant scandal on the 10th Street crooked mess is "growing".....
The picture with the "Snearing" exposed Clown Stalker in the rear view mirror is very cool...
