Concerning the cell-phone stipend . . .

It was not Mayor Chaney that introduced this.  It was Gary Riedner, the City Supervisor . . . . back on October 25, 2010.

2.  Proposed Cell Phone Stipend for Elected Officials - Gary Riedner

The City has implemented a cell phone program designed to provide cell phone access to employees who are required to have cellular access as part of their employment. Previously employees were issued city-owned cell phones and utilized city cell service. As an alternative, eligible employees were given the choice of continuing to utilize city-owned cell phones and service (with no personal use allowed) or to receive a stipend which the employee would use to partially offset the cost of cell phone purchase and access. If the stipend is selected, the employee is required to provide his or her cell phone contact and to utilize their cell phone for conducting city business. Elected officials have requested an analysis to determine whether the cell phone stipend could be extended to elected officials and the budget impact of such a program. The attached Memo from Jesse Flowers, Information Systems Director to Gary J. Riedner, City Supervisor, outlines the potential program and prospective budget impacts.

Mr. Bonnar reported that they had raised enough funds for the moment to get past the "emergency" situation they were in.  Didn't mean they were out of the woods, but there was breathing room, and time for council to come up with a plan, should they choose to.  You presume too much.

While many of them offered “prayers” for the victims of gun violence, they refuse to pass the gun-control laws that might have saved their lives instead. Below you’ll see how much each congressman thinks those lives are worth.
