If just a fraction of our homeless coddling or brick bulbout budget was directed to truly dedicated individuals like these, our City would be in a much better shape.

The second sentence says it all. These programs are always created from emotion, not from logic, so there is never any metric by which they are judged successful. Spending other's people's money on becoming the west coast's bum destination spot may make these folks feel good, but it's turning our main product of tourism into a urine soaked failure.

Last line says it all..."pink slips" are just union budget negotiating tactics. If the teachers unions cared so much about "beloved" teachers, they would do away with the ridiculous tenure system themselves. Tenure makes sense for a University professor but for a high school teacher reciting a mandated curriculum, it's just another perk that ultimately harms the students.

"assured take unrecognizable images of people" reminds me a bit of how the tsa says their naked body scanners can't save images when the specification from the tsa itself requires this function. i'm guessing some kids will have a fun scavenger hunt looking for these things soon...

Aside from the obvious conflicts of interest we all know happen every day in Government, I think the lead got buried on this one. The fact that Aurell is implying that a single planner can put a "generally in favor" note in the file representing the entire staff position tells me each and every one of these unelected bureaucrats has too much control over a taxpaying citizens personal property rights.
