Wren:
One city commissioner here was throwing a tissy about losing his vehicle (he will have to drive in his own car to the office and declare his mileage for a voucher) until he was reminded this morning in the public commissioners' meeting that he, as our elected representative, is to set the standard, not take the perk. He backed off right quick.I didn't used to mind when they were provided a car because it was always a perk that came with the job - if they didn't get that, they would just get something else, more pay, etc.
However, as I watched my neighbor toss his golf clubs into the city's Dodge Charger police car he uses and scream down the street with the pedal to the floor I was a bit perturbed.
Of course, I had just fueled up that day, so maybe my perspective was different.
