Well tonight’s the night folks to see if Commissioner of Finance Kenneth Ivins Jr. has the balls to do the unthinkable even a year ago and pass a budget that calls for the laying off of city workers . Well folks its been a long time in the making and the blame can be spread around but most of it lies on the shoulders of two man, Commissioner of Public Works Skip Scirocco and Public Safety Commissioner Ron Kim, who was unsuccessful in his bid to unseat Mayor Scott Johnson in an election held earlier this month. Kim who acted as cheerleader for the PBA for the last four years is the one mostly to blame for padding police overtime and intentionally letting a bad building deteriorate to the point that the city was found guilty of monetary damages for human rights violations. Adding insult to injury his politicalization of the uniform services into a political action committee along with their heavy handed bullying tactics against city officials left a bad taste in citizen’s months. Kim fed the police with irrational expectations of higher pay, SWAT teams, new fire stations and police stations all of which were false promises to gain political support for him and his cohorts. Well they complained of overcrowding at the old p
olice station and with 7 less cops I guess you got your wish to alleviate the situation but not exactly in the way you imagined.
Next Scirocco. This idiot landed on the city council two years ago with the help of Kim/Keehn and the DFC crowd. Completely in over his head this semi literate pinhead make even the chicken scratching of this blogger look like great literature. He rarely comes out of his office-bunker in City hall except to praise or pass out toys {new truck} to his favored troops. Meanwhile he plots the elimination of his enemies both real and imagined through the manipulation of civil service lists and seniority lists so he can surround himself with people he sees as politically reliable.
The problem is these workers tend to be greater incompetents than their boss.
So there you have folks the dismal truth, its going to be a long winter.

It's going to happen.
Layoffs are on their way.
I don't see you have the right to call anyone a "semi literate pinhead," moron.
Scirocco is an assclown and a mook. He was a shitty dog catcher a crappy supervisor and a pathetic excuse for a commissioner. More people in this town would realize it if the piece of shit reporter Bernstein didn't have his face in Scirocco's ass.
These cops need to laidoff too. They should be limited to their bogus overtime as well. Half of those slugs don't even live in the city. They don't give a shit about our taxes.
This assclown as it was put could fuck up a one car funeral procession! People will see his incompetence once he loses McTygue and Design. This town is going to crumble under his reign and we are at fault for voting in this touch hole! They should fire all his men and start from scratch.
Maxstein sez,Skippy is a semi literate and he can prove it,you'll get an example of it tonight,as far as being a pinhead,does he deserve to be elevated to that level? I think the jury might still be out on that one.Skip reminds me of the guy who's on every construction jump and is carry around a piece of sheetrock or wood and everybody at one time or another asks:What does that guy do? Well the answer is that guy does nothing but he's on the job,that folks sums up the DPW today.The problem solvers are all gone,all that is left today are schemers,they'll be turning on each other in the coming weeks,pointing fingers,having maybe to think....then it should get very entertaining.
Layoffs? This will be tricky seeing Frank DUH! Duhla is coming back. His son in law is on the force and will gaurantee them to get their jobs back if possible. Dudla is a drinking fool who claims to know about the prisons of which their clients reside but really can't do much else except get trashed at the local clubs. Now we will pay the price for two years. More incompetence!
