Shadow--give it up. Poor Kim has to go. Get over it. We can all support her on this but at the end of the day--she's gone. Do you think she would be loyal to FDG and the gang? I don't. They need to be surrounded with their people or they can't govern if they are always worried the secretary is going to spill the beans. ST changed secretaries. Only Paolino kept people on.
What goes on a Town Hall that is so secretive? Spill the beans? The Town Hall isn't Democrat campaign headquarters. Or is it?

You wouldn't want the secretary in the guidance office talking about your kid to folks would you? Same deal.
So do they change secretaries every time there is a new principle or superintendent. Yer mixing apples and oranges here ally. Bad example. Give us another.....shoot for two!

Yeah that was stupid. Guess I'm taking the stupid pills tonight. But they do change the secretary often times in the President's office in colleges and universities for the same reasons.
All I was trying to point out was Bob G and the hypocrisy in his actions. When the city council wasted money there was never a peep out of Bob G when it was the Dems spending. Anytime a Rep spent a dime old Bob was all over them about how they were wasting the taxpayers money. Bob is a phony IMHO.

I remember it well!

Are you guys REALLLLY going to be making derogatory comments against Italians on this point? This town has a very large Italian American population, on both sides of the aisle. Commenting about the policy views of individuals is one thing. Hell, even commenting about their personal lives, is expected in the political arena, though most of us find it unnecessary and stupid. But, to comment about someone based solely on their ethnicity is in extremely bad taste. Those making those comments should be ashamed of yourselves.
I attended many town board meetings and Bob G would have been the first to stand up and criticize the termination of Kim and hiring a secretary from out of the area and paying her more money as not the best way to spend the towns money as it's going to cost the town more. Now that Bob is on the town board how come he's not acting in the taxpayers best interest.
I can answer that...he doesn't like Kim on a personal level because she wouldn't jump through hoops for him, she did her job according to priority and when she didn't drop everything on a whim for him he took it as a personal attack.
Greenlatern--stuff a sock in it. People been knocking Italians on this board for months. Never heard any righteous indignation before except by one very liberal democrat. Nobody is doin that.
Dagwood--you offer the solution to your own crisis. If Kim did not jump as you put it for Bob G naturally when they get in office they would want and deserve to have someone who will on their terms. Unfortunately your sister did not prove herself to be an equal opportunity worker so they are making room for someone who will. Nobody can blame them. Sorry--she's out. I am sure she did an excellent job but she needs to move on now. I don't see a rescue coming. Collateral damage she is. I am sorry. I know this is difficult.
I don't know the specifics or the inner workings of 'government' jobs. I only know the specifics in the private sector. I will reiterate from previous posts.......If this was NOT an appointed position and this person was 'hired'. If she was doing her job. If she never had a negative review in her file, there is no reason for firing/laying off. You can not let a person go due to personality conflicts. (which I doubt was initiated by Kim) Working through personality differences is showing good leadership. You can not tell the employee that you have eliminated the position and then turn around and hire someone else at an even higher rate of pay. YOU JUST CAN NOT!!!
Personally, I wouldn't waste my breath at a town board meeting. I would contact the labor board and seek legal council. It appears to be a cut and dry labor dispute.
As far as Bob 'no change', he has always bullied his way around town hall. I have heard that from both dems and reps. They say he walks in like he owns the place and 'demands' that people drop what they are doing just to satisfy he needs.
I expect nothing less than a circus act from this idiotic town board. Only in rotterdam....the laughing stock of the capital district!
