HAHA!!!!! All the things wrong with the city and this is a response... Sure it's a concern, but is it really top priority?

I think that would be the best thing she starts with!! And also she should put a stop to them transporting their kids in county vehicles!!!

It's official, now they can let Sherry start working on the problems. Yes there is a lot of personal use of city vehicles. Start picking it all apart, department by department, and rebuilding will weed out the deadbeats and non-essentials. Mayor Ward cutting 17 positions seems excessive, if they were not needed why did she allow them in the 2009 budget???

Thats your CHIEF that gets all knobbed up and then drives home, if he can do it what kind of example is he setting for the others?

Conrats, Welfare Town!!!! You have a new Mayor, who will get a big pay boost, violate the rules of the VOTER accepted charter and tax property owners and working families to death.

Lets give her a chance. She had nothing to do with the current state of affairs in Lebanon. Ward and the current sitting City Council are 100% responsible for the sad state the City is in. Ward was the force behind Anspach for the past 10 years. In the last 4 years she and all the members who are now on council, not the newly elected ones, are the only people to blame for this. They should all be replaced. New Mayor and two new members of council is a start but I think the City is beyond the point of no return. There needs to be new blood everywhere. Get rid of the old and start new. New Fire Commissoner, New Police Chief and all others who are bosses. Lets see what happens but I am not optomistic.

Getting rid of the old and bringing in the new won't erase the damage done by the old. Especially when the new agree they see no other options. Here's a thought instead of raping the property owners in Lebanon City, why not consider a one-cent city sales tax on goods bought in the city, like is done in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. That way every one contributes(including those who get a free ride) But I'm positive the new bosses will be the same as the old and just rape those who are the easiest targets...Property owners and those who work. I can't wait until the new group decides to violate the City Charter and go to court to raise our personal city income tax, denying us a chance to vote on it, just like the school board has done and the city will do with property taxes before Ward leaves. Apparently following the rules means nothing to any of these people, if the charter doesn't work for them anymore, they look for a backdoor to sneak thru to violate it!
