Norwoods Public Workers-Private Pain

The City of Norwood is in a battle over the budget.  The City is 2.6 million dollars short of money. The Mayor and members of City Council is in a big mess.  The Mayor and the entire Administration let this happen.  It is that plain and simple.  This is a problem that could have been prevented. I do have a question........ Mayor and City Council members did you not have other issues and things to work on?  Did it have to get this messy? You are causing your Public Workers to have  private pain?

You see they are the forgotten ones.  The ones that do the dirty work.  A thankless job that this Administration have overlooked and underpaid. They are the ones that the city don't recognize.  These workers are giving the city everything to help out.  Even cutting their 40 hour work week down to 36 hours a week.  That is a cut that most of us would not want.  Not to mention they would love to make a little over time money.  That is simply not going to happen.  Their finances are being hit hard.  They are left in the middle of the Mayor and City Council's mess.  When all they want to do is work a simple J-O-B. 

These Public Workers live right here in our city.  They have families that reside here.  They go to school here they volunteer here, they eat, shop and play here.  Now their pay is being put on the auction block.  As if they can be sold to any bidder.  The City has left a sour taste in the mouth of the best customer service providers they have. 

When you see those bright yellow jackets working  around the city.  Smile-wave- but most of all tell them we feel your private pain.
