Ernie's Letter

A letter from our very own Eel River Ernie to the Lost Coast Outpost regarding the Fortuna City Council's vote on $3000 chairs for public safety(?) dispatchers. Short and sweet, it would have made a good letter to the editor to any of the local papers:

LOCO,

 

For pure entertainment value you have to watch tonight’s (11/17/14) Fortuna City Council meeting discussion on the purchase of chairs for the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) employees.  The Council voted to spend $3,000 dollars per chair for these employees and during the discussion talked about how it is not real money as it comes from a state grant fund and not from their budget.  It would be really hilarious if it wasn’t so indicative of the current City Council’s attitude toward the expenditure of taxpayer dollars and they wonder why their proposed tax increase failed…
