I think they are bored and feel the need to always be legislating? The very people who used to have a part time job have now legislated themselves into a regulation nightmare when leaving things alone sometimes is a better option. The question of the day to ask your city councilman is "what exactly can I do on or to my own property that I don't need a permit or some sort of city permission to do??? Name one thing?

Certainly Amanda they are laying claim to more and more and regulating pretty much everything. Thinks like buying a permit for a yard sale seem just a little over the top to me considering I can't think of another place ever where we have lived that you couldn't have a yard sale and signs without obtaining a permit. And yes, they do come around and slow down and check you out. The stupid thing is we are paying people to do this and making the taxpayer pay for it! Ranks right up there with…

<p>I see major problems with a centralized government happening in our city, as it is being done on the Federal level in DC. Just my thoughts...</p>
<p>JL, what do you mean by this. How does city government de-centralize?</p>

I think this was a accumulation of sick and personal days. The company my husband worked for only allowed you to keep so many days on the books. Once you had exceeded the number, you either had to take the days off or lose the days period. No one should have been allowed to back up a good part of a years worth of work days or something rivaling that as one person claimed $50,000. Even vacation time should be limited to maybe 2 years worth? Private companies don't allow situations like…

<p>Patricia, i can see unused vacations, but unused time? Is that sick days or what? That is how the unions have completely pervert jobs, they deem that everyone deserves pay for time not at work if a situation or illness happens but if the person is let go then they deserved pay for the unused time. I have spoken to people with those privileges and they save them up and take them at one time. In my day when i was employed i asked for time off and told the reason, the employer would grant me…</p>

I have spoken to people with those privileges and they save them up and take them at one time. In my day when i was employed i asked for time off and told the reason, the employer would grant me the time off and pay me, for my time off, i was always surprised and thankful. Personally i do not get the you owe me attitude, or the my life must have a guarantee attitude. </p>
<p>From what i see coming out of Brown being Mayor, i am not impressed and i am very disappointed in the council members that granted him that larger travel expense, isn't being Mayor managing the city so people want to move their businesses here? Not traveling all over the world ... what ever happened to extending invitations to visit our city? Live conferencing over the internet? I see major problems with a centralized government happening in our city, as it is being done on the Federal level in DC. Just my thoughts...</p>
