ANd what changes will be brought in so this never happens again? NONE. So they may as well stay quiet. It seems there has been plenty new ambassadors named recently. Release all amounts being spent for them. Let's see if this is a one off or happens all the time. My guess is this is being used for politics and there is no intention of doing anything to change it. Also if this is true make sure all the protocols were followed, and if not deal with that person.
I am on both sides of the fence. If he has done nothing wrong (and we will find out soon enough), then why resign. By resigning he is showing guilt. However if he is guilty then he was silly to even run and they should throw the book at him.
LOL and wait till later in the summer, X plant has broken down due to lack of maintenance and now we will need to spend 10 times as much to fix it. This is the same throughout all Govt organizations. But hey it isn't the money of the people who are running them, so who cares as the public is expected to increase their contributions to government by another $500-750 million, over the next few years.
The real question is what should a living wage be able to get. The UB study which said it should be a lot larger then $250 was based on the family head being the sole worker with 2 kids. IN reality there could be two people working which then reduces the living wage amount per person. Also, of course the minimum wage should go up, however there needs to also be an increase in productivity. If the person is contributing the same to the company as before where is the company to make that additional money?
Why? There is no limit in property tax in most places in the US, so why should we have a limit? If you can afford a $20 million property then you will be fine with real property of $120,000. As a note same property in Palm Beach would be $204,000pa
It was a budget like all others. Remind us about the state we are in then increase expenditure and hope that revenue will increase more then those expenditure increases. Then if in a couple of years that hasn't happened, hope you can blame a storm or something else as to why not. And yes i know there are increases (like Real property), but those are not going to be enough to offset the expenditure increases.
