Lumberjack58 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 If I were a City taxpayer , I would be very upset and asking for hard evidence that the city was " allowed" to spend that kind of money on a manager that was already at $86,000/ year salary plus. redmill, block and WMJ77 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who in DuBois City first decided to use the money as a unaudited piggy bank. And there is my problem with this crooked idea. Contractors should not be paying those who hire them. It's supposed to be the other way around. And the contractor says "don't we hand you FREE MONEY every year"? That loud boom you just heard is the door being kicked wide open for any kind of cheating. Dubois appears to have been proving my point. WMJ77 and momtothree 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubois appears to have been proving my point. It could depend on the contract. My guess they could also be selling scrap for the city and they are giving the proceeds of the scrap. Another thing is the city might have a contract for example 100,000 tons of trash but only received 80,000 tons so they repay them the difference. That's just my guess but I'm not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or as Fedup says, continue to complain for the same government you vote for. If it happens this time, this area is set back another generation.

Petee Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Question? From the embankment there should have been a LOT of interlocking wall blocks, plus the bricks that people donated with their names on them. Where did they go? They were not trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds ironic from the one who defied 2 Grand Jury Supeonaes. So where was their onsite legal counsel? You need to have someone their for legal clarification. But of course, they already knew this. No business could then be officially conducted. All of them need to be removed and start over. Until I see more indictments, nothing is going to change. block 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Soze Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 If you gave to the United Way then your money went to a Charity called the City of DuBois.Why would anyone now donate money to the United Way when the city solicitor can go collect money at will.

Smokey Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I don't know Ms Gabriel, or any of the other city council members, but what if she (Ms Gabriel) made that motion knowing it would not be seconded. Just wondering if, with all the turmoil and uproar calling for council to be completely replaced, she wants to appear to be the only one there on the side of the taxpayers so she stands a chance of retaining her seat. Just wondering??? Keyser Soze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that a law firm that specializes in civil law charges somewhere in the $300 per hour range for the lawyers time. What does a good criminal lawyer charge per hour? Read today's front page of the Altoona Mirror. And that doesnt include the running total of Herm's criminal legal fees. There's your $270,000.
