I worked for 30+ years for the Boy Scouts of America an organization that is truly about family and its employees were small in number and a very tight knit "family group".
I resent your statement that "numbers type" people do not understand "family". That is stereotypical thinking and does not recognize that one size does not fit all. You obviously do not know me or what I am about.
Your post also seems to indicate that my posts are posts for the Walton County Taxpayers Association and they are not. When I post under my name Bob Hudson those posts are my thoughts and only my thoughts. I am no longer the President of that organization nor am I a member of their board of directors. They have an login on Sowal entitled "WCTA". That login is only available to the President and Bonnie McQuiston is the President. I am still involved with the organization doing certain technical type of analysis for them as well as maintaining their website at their direction - they control the content - I simply do the HTML work for them.
THE WCTA has for 29 years had "cost saving" measures as just one of its stated objectives. And they have had representatives at most if not all of the pension board meetings and SWFD board meetings as the budget process in not only the SWFD organization, but every taxing authority in Walton County. Your statement that the WCTA should have a concern for cost saving proposals is a red herring as their history and track record are proof of just the opposite.
Yes - you are free to post in any thread you choose, but this thread was about the negotiations between the FF union and the SWFD board.
