Welcome and thank you

Thank you for accepting my invite. I am sorry that I had to do this, but things were getting out of control. You wouldn't believe who were some of my more avid readers of this blog. Our tax dollars were paying the salaries of some pretty "high up" people on both sides of our local government. I have been looking at my tax bills and decided that it is time that our hard earned money not be used to pay public officials who have nothing better to do than read Lebo Citizens. All the hits were coming in during business hours. I have a problem with that. Unfortunately, everyone is now inconvenienced. Yes, readership will go down, but think of how productivity will go up in our local governments.

Our Public Information Office, for example, is paid to write ridiculous things on Facebook. Now, there is this job posting:

Our overpaid PIO now needs a "Content Creator." Steve Feller has an intern, in addition to Bonnie Cross, Assistant to the Manager! I can't find the information at the moment, but going from memory, his intern is a 53 year old man from NJ. Don't quote me on that, but why does Steve Feller need an intern? We all know that Mt. Lebanon is not an equal opportunity employer. You must have connections for everything. Block parties, tree removal, field sports facilities, lack of disciplinary action with certain staff members, and even favorable assessments, are just some of the perks available to those in the "inner circle" of our community.

I would love to withhold some of my taxes in protest, but unfortunately, I cannot do that without being penalized. So this is the next best thing. My silent protest. Thank you for your patience, Lebo Citizen readers.

Update July 6, 2015 6:12 PM Other than the number of comments decreasing, nothing else has changed. I am still accepting anonymous comments. I bet it was a long work day today up at the municipal building.
