DPW employees are furious!

“The city has reversed 20 years.”  That reaction has to do with 96 Nextel telephones that went dead a couple Sundays ago.  On Monday morning, there was no way for anyone to communicate unless they used a telephone like… 20 years ago.

Well, this was a cost-cutting measure to save the city $50,000 each year that DPW Director Frank McCann was aware of but did not tell anyone.  It’s all a power trip!

Now, only 18 telephones will be issued to managers, supervisors and water meter readers.  This action will also serve to force the supervisors to stay with their crews while they work instead of being found in restaurants by Rumbo’s camera.  Remember?
