So will my neighbors, friends, and family. You know why? Because you guys are supposed to be civic leaders and we are all sick of the loss of freedoms and autocratic control!! Well-written article, Eye. Not many really understand how important these current events are to our future, our country, and all the freedoms we enjoy. If you did, you'd risk your jobs. What are you going to say to your grandchildren one day when their freedoms are gone? "I wanted to keep my job and that was more important than the legacy I would leave for you"??? Think about it and get involved. Take action. Organize. Get in the streets. It's the only way anything is going to change.

I had the oportunity to take a high paying job, that I wasn't qualified for as well, but that would have meant turning my back on my friends and having to sell my soul to the devil. No Thanks, I can hold my head high , work two jobs, look myself in ther mirror and sleep at night. I could no sooner work for this administration in any capacity, as I could going out and killing innocent animals.

The position was specifically designed for mediation of red light disputes. No cameras, no disputes and the taxpayers (who all city employees are suppose to work for) now have someone’s friend on the payroll doing nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-57557720044770070622008-02-20T11:21:00.000-07:002008-02-20T11:21:00.000-07:00Deposed, as in they had their deposition taken??? ...Deposed, as in they had their deposition taken???
