Pay incentives\t\t<\/strong>\t\t\tFebruary 11, 2016<\/p>\n

It has been heralded for months that there were funding shortages in city government, then comes the hue & cry from the City Directors about cuts in various spending habits, which of course never occur. Then always their solution–RAISE TAXES.<\/p>\n

Then comes information today, apparently purely accidental, that the private sector taxpayers are paying huge sums of money ($500,000 per year) for Continuing Education for policemen and firemen. <\/p>\n

Policemen & firemen, apparently not worried about their pensions and are happy with their CE private sector paid-for perks.
\nNow it gets better: Director Lau, hearing grumblings from other city employee types puts forth his solution, the city should pay for all employees to have CE. How generous Director Lau! Lau even describes the CE as \u201chigher education\u201d. The phrase \u201chigher education\u201d denotes college\/universities.<\/p>\n

And now the preacher, not to be outdone, that would be Pastor Hutchings, speaks up and postulates \u201cI think our city workers have sacrificed so much, so let\u2019s leave this in place\u201d. Reverend, tell us what these sacrifices are and why they should be left in place (the CE for police & fire).<\/p>\n

Director Good made the only intelligent statement at the meeting by stating \u201cAfter nearly 8 years on the Board, he was only recently aware of the incentive pay\u201d. This speaks volumes for the deceit that ruminates through the Fort Smith city government.
\nHere are some questions that need to be answered immediately:<\/p>\n

1.\tWhat specifically does the CE entail? High School or college academics, government indoctrination\u2014be specific.
\n2.\tWhat is the financial incentive and how much?
\n3.\tWhat & who qualifies for the stipend?
\n4.\tDoes the CE have anything to do with international protocols for police & fire that already have taken control of the FS police department out of the hands of taxpaying citizens? Lindsey\u2019s corps of cops is already controlled by D.C. and U.N. Agenda 2030. Why and who authorized?
\n5.\tHave any FS police been trained by Israelis here or abroad (an ongoing practice across the nation\u2014think torture, snipers, spying, etc.)?<\/p>\n

Where do the Directors get the idea that government, e.g. \u201cwe the people\u201d should pay for CE for government employees? If these two groups & others want to enhance their educational skills, let them pay for it, just as the private sector must. They certainly have the time on their hands to do it. They are hired to do a job, not to be coddled. <\/p>\n

Director Pennartz absolutely knows about receiving monthly taxpayer subsidized checks; she\u2019s been in the trough at least for her adult life. What generated this statement is her quote, \u201cRight now, they don\u2019t have that incentive to better themselves\u201d. The words of a Cultural Marxist. Director Pennartz, that is the silliest statement I have heard you make up to now. <\/p>\n
