Stupid idea
To the editor:
I take to task the city of Lawrence on this energy director proposal. Spend $100,000 to save maybe $100,000. Another stupid idea by Lawrence city commissioners.
People in the know realize it will cost $5 to save $1. The new director will have to have a car, an office and, of course, a head of staff and numerous assistants. Then that person will get a bonus for saving maybe a couple of hundred dollars a month. Then, if that person quits after a few months, he probably will receive severance pay equal to one year’s salary.
Sounds like a sweet deal for a friend of the city. And who will pick up the cost of this director after the first year? Taxpayers maybe.
