Freedom Of Speech again would like to know:
* Why is the "Building Commissioner" not following the law?
* Why is the "Building Commissioner" not doing the job the citizens of New Albany are paying him to do?
And you Sir, Mr. Hartman are being paid $40,905 as Interim Building Commissioner.
* Don't you think it's about time Mr. Hartman for you to start earning your paycheck?
And rumor is when Mr. Hartman is Certified, the mayor will appoint him Building Commisioner. Mr. Mayor, this position is to important, it should be held by a Certified Building Commissioner now...
You state Mr. Mayor that the problems are many and your frustrated!
And that the garbage truck routes are poorly designed and some drivers don't adhere to them. And that the Street Department needs a second truck for picking up branches and yard waste.
So get off your ass as Mayor and do your job and buy us a new truck! You always seem to have money for everything else you want to buy.
And to Greg Roberts: Why does all the attention for clean-up go to the East End? What about the West End and the rest of the City? Do you only think about yourself?
Where does the accountability of these problems start and end?
We say the Building Commissioner and the Mayors office!
Remember your campaign slogan Jimmy: "The buck stops here."
What a joke...
