Mayor Cy's Blog ... Exposing Corruption

Mayor Cy has been posting to his personal blog for several months. You need to take time to go there and investigate what he has been revealing...it is rather shocking! Mayor Cy's personal blog explains some of the extreme financial burdens some employees have cost the city. He gives detailed expenses from payroll vouchers, council minutes, and activities of the City Council. Mayor Cy calls his writing, "My Turn." That is very appropriate.

As you scroll down the page you go from the newest to the older posts. He explains the extreme legal costs over the past year (re: King 5 article, "Legal Expenses Skyrocket").

AS YOU SCROLL DOWN the blog pages take time to find:

My Turn # 8

-Feb. 11 Council Meeting where he tried to repeal the ordinance for the "Public Safety Director"

-Why do we need a PS Director, when we don't have a fire department?

-6 years, paying $840,000, instead of paying a Police Chief $480,000 for the same time period...saving $360,000

-Yet Council would not consider the repeal

 My Turn # 7

 

-Tues, Feb 5 Council Meeting - the Council directs to "Hire 2 more cops"

 

-Reasons Council wasted your tax $$...go read it...it is the Council, not the Mayor, who is costing the city money

My Turn # 5a & 5b "Police Department costs"

 

My Turn # 5

 

-Police Dept. personnel salaries - compared with Orting information from their web site

 

My Turn # 3

 

-False accusations - again- Why legal costs are so high

 

My Turn # 2 "Corruption"

 

1. Misuse of City credit cards

2. Overpayment ("high") of city employees

3. Sale of city property - needs to be investigated

4. City Insurance misdeeds...wanting to get rid of Mayor Cy

5. Balance of power issues

My Turn # 1 "Answering Questions" - Questions needing answers:

 

1. $70,000 missing cash

2. $30,000 in a bank account with no accountability/documentation

3. City books, covering up $10.9 Million "out of balance"

4. No bookkeeping record of vehicles purchased & sold

5. Council member remodeling with no permits, or expired permits

6. Reasons for firing the City Attorney

7. Reasons for high legal costs

Read all these...then decide what you want to do...get rid of a Mayor trying to save your money and get rid of corruption in the city...or business as usual?

Also, this shows how Mayor Cy reduced the payroll by $239,000 by using consultants for the cost of $32,000 (instead of paying $580,000 in employee salaries). Consider the cost savings these consultants made in obtaining grants, increasing revenue, and saving projects that would have cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars had they been canceled.
