15% pay raise for the County Administrator
0 CommentsView the Comments in this Topic
To the elected and appointed officials of Van Buren County and to the residents and voters in the county. I find it reprehensible in todays trying financial times someone can get a 15% raise over the course of a 3 yr contract. Im glad he scored so well, but it is my opinion that was what he was supposed to do. He got another 3 yr contract I think that is reward enough. I think a more responsible approach would be to offer a raise when the economy rebounds. Did all county employees get a 15% raise in their contracts? Lets check with the Deputies at the Sheriffs Office and see. Did the road crews get such a sweetheart deal? Call or write the officials and voice your opinion.

homes have lost their value yet assessed values are up so property owners see no relief there.
Disapointed with the Road Commision

Is it true that the Van Buren County Road commision will not donate time or ask it's employees to donate a few hours to set up road blocks to help the non profit organizations of Paw Paw Fire and Lawton Fire during the State Fire Convention? To my knowledge this convention will bring hundreds of people to our area, these people will be spending money in our businesses and creating revenue for our tax payers. I can not believe that the Road Commision in our county can not ask for a few hours of donated time from employees to help our community and support those that protect us on a volunteer basis!

Your Honorable Government Leaders and my Family and Friends:
Please read the below and think about this: This may sound funny but if we think about our children as our dependents and then compare these nations and output hands as our dependents in this world…What would happen if we treat our children as we treat the world.:

Apologize to them for looking at their homework grades and emailing their teachers regarding their behaviors while in school everyday.

Feed and clothe them with your earnings without asking them to lift a hand or contribute to household chores.

The ideas suggested in the statements below may have been for comedy but when you think of it there are foundations here for ideas that would work. Why do we allow people to just walk all over this country that we have worked so hard to build and get lost within our borders. Unemployment in Michigan is high. Yet, illegal workers work in Michigan everyday picking fruit and on construction crews and restaurants and nurseries. They are lost within our borders.

Either legalize these people and let them contribute to our economy legally or send them back and let the unemployed fill those jobs created.

TAX BOTTLES of Water. 5 cents per bottle right to the school fund and mandate recycling in all school facilities.

WORK HARD WITH VAN BUREN COUNTY to bring in the 1400 jobs to the area. Make sure these jobs are given to LEGAL workers!!!!

MAKE SURE ALL JOBS IN MICHIGAN GO TO LEGAL RESIDENTS….

Sirs;

It is with appaling disgust I write you concerning a New York Times article concerning the forclosure of Reserve Sgt. James B. Hurley's home while he served our country in Iraq.
(http://finance.yahoo.com/loans/article/111958/reservist-in-war-against-foreclosure?mod=loans-home)

I cannot begin to understand why every resident and elected official of Van Buren County isn't sanding outside the front doors of Deutsche Bank screaming of the clear and egregious violation of federal law designed to protect our service members.

You should all be ashamed to allow this to happen within your county. I can only pray this never happens to you or your loved ones.

Sleep well Van Buren County.

DOG BARKING; WHY IS THIS OKAY???
1 Comment, Last Post on 2/6/2012 7:37:01 AMView the Comments in this Topic
I live in Waverly Township and we live in a area with many houses surronding us. So when dogs bark you hear them, and when there owners aren't home or don't care there is nothing in this township that can be done. So instead of having any peace in the country its like we live in the city with no noise laws. Why is this Waverly? And your citizens that voted a barking ordinance out??
