1. How can Town Hall claim they laid off 33 employees but simultaneously claim they are saving no money?
2. Why would Town Hall hire a full-time licencing manager to collect only $4,100 in licences?
3. Why can't Town Hall reduce spending when every single business, and probably every single taxpyer in Amherstburg, has found a way to reduce spending during the present economic crisis?
4. Why does the Mayor's response use hostile language (like "divide and conquer mentality") to a simple request to save money?
Instead, Town Hall actually purchased a 3/4-page ad in the River Town Times to publish the Mayor's comments. Here is the very brief reference in the River Town Times confirming that "DiCarlo's rebuttal letter came in the form of a paid advertisement..."
And that, in very simple terms, pretty much sums up Town Hall's attitude towards the current economic crisis.
