text: He's right about paying for good quality employees, unless you want all city workers to be like the surly teen that hates his low paying job at the movie theatre. Perhaps the city could make extra money by not inhibiting zoning and license approvals for the new marijuana industry? A couple million has been seen in other areas, and while ours would be less, it's a start! We could also do well to sue the contractors Sullivan hired to implement SAP and possibly anyone involved in approving them. Black & Veach and Peleton Group (I think, going from memory). The city was paying for weekly airfare to the lower 48, hotel rooms in the captain cook, and all kinds of other extravagant bullflop for those contractors - and they still left the job in a broken, unimplemented state.
