Joe fabricates town problems like an obsession. Hourly wage computation can be a bit different in the private sector and far different from migrant farm wage, an area Joe is most familiar with. Joe has to remember that this is a municipality where the workers need to be available 24/7. He accused the workers of fabricating overtime which was 100% untrue. He guides them and still comes up with nothing. However, once the audits were complete, Joe said himself, no money was found to be missing. Joe doesn’t trust the handling of money, suggesting improprieties. In fact, water losses were actual underground water leaks. He accused the good ole boys of stealing water and covering it up, all unfounded. If you remember, his campaign was based on negativity including water loss. The “political crony culture” that he complains of is completely by his own hand. Joe entered into his position like a bull in a China shop which has led to building-wide distrust. Meanwhile, in his own words, he is “destroying the place.” Everything he does has an ulterior motive, re-election. He lies to get his way as he works for his own self interest under the guise of working “for the taxpayers.” I hate that I have to participate in negativity and politics. Joe harasses, stalks and tries to intimidate. Having once been in “Joe’s camp,” I now see him in a clearer light. However, I have observed a toxic workplace, witnessed and experienced my own anxiety and I have seen an alarming number of resignations as a result. It gives me no pleasure to discredit anyone. As the Highway Superintendent, I have my own perspective. However, as good as much of my experience here has been, there have been some significant problems. We have accomplished quite a lot, none of which could have been achieved without our great group of dedicated staff, some of who’ve been with Murray for decades. It has been an honest pleasure to get to know so many of you in the Town and County. I am in my third year at the Town of Murray.
