From the "Labor Pains" bits and pieces in last weeks paper........."Arbitration can also be costly because of legal fees. One estimate put a price tag of $185,000 on the city’s expense for each union that requires arbitration. Morrissey would say only that the cost would be “six figures.” "............let's NOT forget, we are PAYING TWO, yes, TWO ! legal directors as it is..........and LarryBoy has the audacity to claim "“To me, it’s a matter of having financial accountability to our taxpayers.”
So, I'm OURAGED...........and I would HOPE anyother city taxpayers would be too.......... As I've mentioned before, the city is paying TWO legal directors (to the tune of around $220,000).........NOW LarryBoy wants to HIRE another outside law firm for arbitration.........AT $275 AN HOUR!!!!!!!!!! Let's not forget the outside law firm re-writing the building codes.......... So we elect a "successful"(?) lawyer as mayor, and ALL WE DO IS HIRE MORE LAWYERS!!!!!!!!!!!
