Let's see, Ms Reality - how many employees has Stoffa laid off? How many members of his inner circle were sent to Federal prison? How much money has Stoffa saved the county?

And what about taxes - the administration he replaced raised your taxes 67% Stoffa has raised taxes 1/2 MILL. What about open space?

Sure, the sheriff' deputies are pissed because they can't take their cars home. Some Democratic power brokers are angry because Stoffa refuses to play games with taxpayer funds.

Now tell me about his BS ability.

Hating the old King doesn't translate into a competent new King. Save money, where? A sweatheart backend loaded deal with Blue Cross resulted in employees paying more. Please save you BS for the civilians. Some of us know what's going on, even if a loving press hides it.

"A sweatheart backend loaded deal with Blue Cross"?

Since you "know what is going on", explain it to us.

Aren't you the Stoffa appointed Fiscal Head. Should you be net surfing and posting on County time?

A disaster--fiscally, economically and adminstratively--by any other name is still a disaster. That is the stoffa legacy.
