LTE ~ "Rodger works for the city council”.   No he doesn’t, he serves the Taxpayers

According to The World front page article of 20 August regarding the proposed wastewater treatment factory, fiscal responsibility, and prudent spending of the people’s money; and when discussing the Coos Bay city manager, it was reported that Coos Bay Mayor Shoji stated “Rodger works for the city council”.  

No he doesn’t.  City Manager Craddock serves at the pleasure of the citizens of Coos Bay through their city council.  He administratively reports to the city council that controls and directs his functions and responsibilities.  He, like the mayor, the city council, the city counselor, the city management, and the city staff “works” for, and is a paid or unpaid, elected or appointed, employee of the citizens of Coos Bay.  Nobody on that council pays any of their personal monies to Mr. Craddock as part of his more than $200,000 annual salary / wages, perks, PERS, and auto and phone allowances, other than as overtaxed Coos Bay citizens.      

In the same 20 August article, it was reported that the Coos Bay citizens cost conscious council member Mark Daily did not disappoint his constituents and he again insisted that his peers exhaust all possible alternatives and proceed with an open mind to procure for the citizens the highest quality, lowest price, guaranteed on time receipt, wastewater treatment facility to be located on the isolated North Spit and away from the scenic Cape Arago Highway and in a residential neighborhood.  Mr. Daily has demonstrated that he is tenacious when conducting the people’s business; he is a fiscally responsible take charge leader.  Hopefully Mr. Daily will be a choice for mayor next year.  Perhaps the mayor will soon provide her constituents with a more meaningful explanation for her closed mind in the wastewater treatment factory matter.
