I found this to be interesting. A guy who is serving his country in a military zone, still finds the time to get up early, and partake in a small town city council meeting. But while Diamond Jim was on a month long family vacation in Mexico, he didn’t check in once. I’m sure beating back those waves while building sand castles with your grandson is kind of like a war zone?

I can’t believe I found this clip from Mr. Show (watch the very beginning then FF to: 3:20) BTW, NSFW.

This is the first I have heard about this contract. I am blown away by the cost and annual maintenance fees ($1.8 Million).

I have seen some pretty hefty fees for software, but this blows me away. I also am troubled by the maintenance fees. Not sure how many people work in IT and the Financial office for the city, but I would think with that many people on the payroll, they could have figured out a cheaper route. But hey, it’s not their money 🙂
This is also an interesting read on a study proposing to change city employees benefits;Â benefits-changes
Mike might have to get his hands a little dirty to win this battle.
