THE INFORMER IS---- BACK ! ! !

It’s been nice taking a break but there seemed to be something missing. As soon as my fingers hit the keyboard I knew what it was. Being able to get the word out to you, the citizens of St. Cloud, about local issues and those behind the scene antics of our elected officials.

We all know just how well our fine city has been run in the past few years by the infamous five council members. Loads of money spent unwisely to say the least. Lots of votes cast not in the best interest of St. Cloud’s citizens. We all deserve much better from our elected officials.

Speaking of better from our city council members - it just won’t happen this month.It seems that at least two members,Tom Griffin and our newest member Jay Polachek, with only four meetings under his belt, are already on the war path. Mr Fertic is a late show for his evaluation of the city managers review. Reports that his evaluation will be jaded at best have many of us wondering what’s up!!

It looks like Tom Griffin and Jay Polachek might have been in a school room together.Their evaluation paperwork appears so close to the same it’s scary! Did we copy each other’s paperwork BOYZ??

More on these goodies later.
We need your help. Keep sending those tidbits to us…………..
As always, The Informer!

The evaluations turned in were for the city manager's performance in 2007. The two members who served a full 12 months in 2007 gave the manager very good marks in their evaluations. Mr. Griffin, who only served a few months in 2007, gave a comparatively poor review. Astoundingly, Mr. Polachek, who has only been on the council for about two months and did not serve at all during 2007, also gave a comparatively poor review. The voters of St. Cloud will soundly reject any council member who attempts mischief based upon performance criteia that are manufactured out of thin air.

Like him or not, the city manager follows the direction of the city council, or at least, three of them. Mr. Polachek has no business evaluation anyone until he gets his feet wet, since he's never served on a city committee or anything related to city government.
Griffin has been the wolf in sheep's clothing. He was running against Wade Davis and just about anyone would have been elected. They were. Griffin was slick in his community grants and now, getting payback for his almost 10 thousand dollars in fines he was hit with for code violations back when Tom Hurt was in charge of code enforcement, under the buiolding department.
Some members of the code enforcement board remember when Griffin made his deal. No one should forget!

Welcome back John Q! 'bout time you got here!

Those three are idiots! Griffin is on a power trip and thinking he has all the answers. Polachek has no idea what he's gotten into but I'll wager the sunshine laws have been toppled already! Fertic has been a one issue boob, and now, he can't even vote on that one issue becaue his family owns some of the property involved. Lots of people waiting for him to screw up so they can fill out the complaint forms.

Where the heck is The Informer hiding?

If all the personal adjenda's were left
out of CITY HALL, maybe we as citizens could get down to business running the city with qualified, JUST decisions. Those who didn't think the Piper didn't have to be paid , now is the time....for those to step up to the job elected...not for personal gratification and not for on the job training. Keep up the good work JQ.....'09's not that far away.
