I assume Chris needs their approval before he goes ahead with his decisions or is he a one man operation? Has the council stupidly givn him free reigns at City Hall. I've heard the Mayor doesn't interfere with his decisions. Please keep in mind and I know many will agree, Chris isn't stupid and he will move the council to wherever he wants them and like good little sheep, they follow. Been a long road since Milton became a city and it seems like the path is getting narrower. What started out being a great idea has fallen into incompetent hands regardless how the mayor and council speak at the meetings, I mean, who wants to admit their being led down the wrong road. Small rural community my butt, the politics of the City did and have reached Milton for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21862313.post-71111854277000089232010-01-05T12:11:12.252-08:002010-01-05T12:11:12.252-08:00Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords i...Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

In the same breath, however, I have questioned various decisions. One of which comes now.<br /><br />Nothing against the person hired on as a parks director, but isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Think about it. Milton currently has three parks; Birmingham Park which doesn't have one single rec field on it, Providence Park which is closed due to contamination, and Bell Memorial. Why do we need a Parks Director now? It would be one thing if we had numerous parks with everything from equestrian events to lacrosse going on, but that just isn't the case currently.<br /><br />Let's make the assumption that this person is being paid $40k to $60k a year. That money is better spent hiring on an additional police officer so that our city has better coverage.<br /><br />Remember, we only have three officers per twelve hour shift to cover all of Milton which is roughly 40 square miles. <br /><br />The safety of our loved ones should be the city's #1 priority. Once we have ample coverage in those areneas, then we can look at other avenues such as park enhancement.<br /><br />Tim Enloe<br />Accessmilton.com<br />770 653 0552Tim Enloehttp://accessmilton.comnoreply@blogger.com
