Remove the mayor and all her lieutenants for bogus bonuses
Why am I not surprised at our mayor’s actions in handing out bonuses to already overpaid administration employees?
Their salaries also include vehicles, gas cards, meal vouchers and exemptions from paying for parking and the meters in downtown Fresno.
Police Chief Jerry Dyer is way overpaid. How did he earn a bonus after what ex-Deputy Police Chief Keith Foster was doing? Either Chief Dyer knew what Mr. Foster was doing and chose to turn the other cheek or he’s not doing his job managing his staff. And for the others: To accept the bonuses, knowing there are much-needed funds for places such as the Sanctuary, homeless veterans, etc. is outrageous!
Remove them all. We taxpayers know, if we are not performing our job descriptions according to company policies and procedures, we cannot expect raises, job advancements, or in some cases, retain our jobs.
So why does Mayor Ashley Swearengin get to keep her job?
