I think it's clear - it's about time we admitted it - Republicans, whether right-wing or middle of the road, suck at governance, especially when they attempt to privatize typically government functions.<br /><br />They either figure it's private enterprise, so they don't have to monitor performance/progress and not establish quality SLA's as it is PRIVATE ENTERPRISE and that is the basis of their libertarian / capitalistic manifesto, or don't care how the contractors perform as they have already lined their pocket with the kickback.<br /><br />The upper-middle class white utopia called "The City of Dunwoody" has failed and if we continue with it we will be like 1930's Germany and the dissatisfaction of the citizens will only allow the fascist element in - the Save Dunwoody thugs (they are even attempting to take seats in the legislature from the other moderates).<br /><br />Let's swallow our pride, wave the white flag, and ask DeKalb County to take us back, where at least the process worked and people weren't dying to get an ambulance.<br /><br />One last comment, as there are so many ass-hats in the city that make vitriolic public comments that include personal attacks, remove the Boy Scouts during that segment of the meeting.<br /><br />Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, oh blue sky and sunshine...just a wiccan tantric to make this nightmare go away.

His comment was applied to only this one, particular example.<br /><br />And, this example is perhaps not the best to try to extrapolate overall performance from...<br /><br />BTW, Ms. McQuaig lives within a couple of blocks of the fire station. Their "response" time was less than 1 minute; very atypical for the average transit time.<br /><br />Take off the rose-colored glasses, and recognize that we have a problem of our own making, here. The timeline shows that WITH Chatcomm the response time was over a minute LONGER than if Ms. McQuaig could have reached DeKalb 911 on her own. If CAD-CAD had been in place, the response time would have been less. So we get slower response times because CAD-CAD doesn't work. Simple fact. No one, even Mr. Hutmacher, disputes that.

I do fault his orthography, however, as he mixed his homophones.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, the adjective "scholastic" is more pejorative than adulatory. Perhaps you meant "scholarly"? That might be, in some circles, a semantic error.<br /><br />For the record, I'm just chiming in because of poor usage and poor literary criticism...... <br /><br />Dang it! I misspelled a word, too!

A strongly worded letter to Interact (4yrs to late); really? Let's hope they don't view it as slander. This whole fisaco makes no sense or is it cents? In 2010 the city could of worked with the county to get the features they wanted added to the CAD at minimal cost. Now 3 years later and a million or two dollars later the city states they are shocked to learn the computer code of rival companies will not interface seamlessly. Where's the strongly worded letter to OSSI? Dunwoody Yes never mentioned 911 and after a million or two and years of implementation delays (not to mention the delay in dispatching medical calls); I'm really wondering why we are so wedded to OSSI/Chattcom ?? <br />TwoDogsTruckinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688447041172566953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-51003523012905434372014-03-11T16:40:15.836-04:002014-03-11T16:40:15.836-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330185723991647590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-28721550999034476842014-03-11T16:03:42.851-04:002014-03-11T16:03:42.851-04:00^thank you so much for correcting my spelling.

Are you inferring that the City Council and the Mayor resemble a "week" because there are seven of them? Oh my, what a clever lad you you are! Oh this wasn't a pun? Well, then take my advice and brush up on your semantics before spewing your hate.<br /><br />History has proven that being an effective outspoken responsible citizen requires a bit more in the way of intelligent and scholastic articulation than just being a sad angry little man with an axe to grind.<br /><br />Robespierrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843793627588097557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-34980558832965844212014-03-11T11:46:34.083-04:002014-03-11T11:46:34.083-04:00At the 5:50 portion of the video, city manager War...At the 5:50 portion of the video, city manager Warren Hutmacher tries to restrain citizen suggestions that someone should be held accountable for the 3 years of delay in implementing this 911 project that he overseas. Warren states, “Part of the frustration from the public, and certainly part of the frustration from our staff, is that we don’t have someone that we’ve hired that we can fire because they didn’t do a good job for us.” Um, someone please provide him with a mirror! All of City Council and our Mayor look pathetically week as they permit someone to be employed by our city who has a three year track record of horrible management. I think no one on Council has the guts to fire him because they are all afraid it will make themselves and the city look bad.
