TMC: Thirty Miles of Corruption

Mr. McDougal,

You have told the public a number of times if we have city concerns or issues with staff we can come to you first and let you try to work it out. We have come to you with many issues and so far you have chose to do nothing. I’m going to give you one more shot at it. If nothing is done I will not only take it to council but I will also take it to the Taxpayer.

I was a little confused at first with your style of governing, but I wanted to at least give you a little time to settle in because you appeared to be so nice (Charming). I was willing to play the game and as of today I think I get it, from this day forward I will consider you a SMOOTH OPERATOR.
My concern of the day is with, steamy office romances paid for by the taxpayers . An office romance can start with a little gesture like a simple valentine on Valentine’s day.

Let me tell you a true story. There was this very educated and classy woman (let’s call her Mrs. J) she had no idea her husband was having an affair at the office. One day the OTHER woman’s husband showed up to Mrs. J’s home and told her their spouses were having an affair. Mrs. J became so mad , she went to her husband’s office started a physical altercation with him and then the police became involved. This kind of scenario can create a potential risk to staff at any workplace. It’s as clear as black and white , right or wrong there are no two ways about it.

I think an open , honest, and serious dialog needs to take place on this very important subject matter because it has overwhelming implications. The most obvious is when the gossip starts and staff looses respect for those involved. It creates an environment of potential risk, accusations of favoritism, workplace disharmony, and above all office affairs complicate business operations. This can cost the taxpayer millions of dollars and I believe it has.

Not only do I think the dialog needs to take place. I also believe that staff –involved-relationships , need to be made public especially if taxpayer dollars are used to facilitate the relationship. It has been a silent expense on the taxpayer for generations, lunches, traveling, and hotels, this needs to be exposed. The taxpayer needs to know how their money is being spent and who is misusing funds. This kind of behavior has gone on way to long at City Hall .

Besides the financial impact to the city there is also a quality of work issue. Unqualified employees have risen through the ranks at city hall not for their qualifications but because they were sleeping with their boss. The public depends on the staff to run the city in an efficient manner. Misuse of public funds need to stop and be exposed. A Cheat is a cheat is a cheat if they are willing to cheat on their spouse, they are willing to cheat on the public.

I have to ask myself why does an organization like the city allow this to happen without addressing the sex issue straightforward. Are they uncomfortable with the subject matter or are they all just
TOO SMOOTH…….

Mr. McDougal, Thank-you for your time and your service to the city of Riverside. It’s been fun.
