In one small dept. 5 people were laid off, one having 20 yrs. of service. Yet the director of that department's husband was laid off (he had only been with the Cty, 2 yrs) and he had a new job on Monday never missing a day of work. What dept. hired him?? Airports of course. They all wash one another's hands.

Just one more example of the greed, corruption, and down right stupidity that pervades PB County government. It's time to vote every single one of them out.

Airport Director Bruce Pelly, County Administrator Bob Weisman, and county commissioners should all be ashamed. To allow double dipping in a booming economy is bad enough...but NOW? When Palm Beach County just hiked property taxes 15%? While unemployment is still high, property values still low, and everyone has to cut back??? So a 6-figure bureaucrat can game the system? (pg 18A, Palm Beach Post, Sunday, Feb 7)
Mr Weisman says the money doesn't come from taxpayers. How stupid is that! Of course it does. Every dime spent, well or foolishly, directly or indirectly comes from the taxpayers.
JUST BECAUSE DOUBLE DIPPING IS LEGAL DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT.
