DOTHAN: Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz and members of the Dothan Commission, even Amos, are at Friend Bank for the strategic planning session for the City of Dothan.
The Commission spends $ 15,000.00 annually for Lyle Sumek to make the commissioners and department heads list their wants and how to get there. More MONEY gets their wants.
For the past 10 years, in a practice started by former Dothan Mayor Pat Thomas, the City of Dothan spends the $ 15,000.00 a year for Sumek to come to Dothan to make all Dothan officials talk to each other. Sumek DOES NOT furnish the paper to list the wants.
WAIT, 10 years, that means $ 150,000.00 spent to make grown ups talk and plan!
Okay, with more money taken from the citizens the department heads can spend more money on toys they want and make you like it.
The three candidates for Dothan Commission are present. Members of the real media are present. However, one real media member, John Taylor, tells RSN he is on a Mark Culver work schedule and does not work on Friday’s.
I will read Lance Griffin’s take. He is paid to be there and no reason for us both to suffer about grown ups having to pay $ 15,000.00 to make them talk to each other.
I popped in and took pictures. Did not want to stay long because the Choker, Albert Kirkland was present.
NOTE: It is Friday and Greg Benton is at work today!!! Still has no police radio in his police car though.
