Thank you for posting the link. I'm at home so I don’t have access to the records right now, but I can tell you that my salary is $68K and the City Manager's is about $105K. If you want to know exactly how much everyone is making, I can email it to you or you can stop by City Hall and pick up a report.

You keep talking about all the long-term employees who were fired. It’s not the first time I’ve heard rumors like that and it simply is not true. When I was hired, Fairburn had a tremendous employee retention problem. Most employees hadn’t even made it through their 5-year vesting period. I was the 8th City Clerk in 5 years. Sure, some employees didn’t like having new management and some didn’t like having performance standards or policies to follow, but most employees wanted to do a good job and they are still there. There are still improvements to be made, but I’m proud of the things we’ve been able to accomplish in Fairburn and I’m proud of the people I work with every day because I know how much they care about the job and about making Fairburn a better place.

Here I am feeling great about all the things we’ve accomplished and proud of all the people I work with and you seem to be pretty ticked off about something. So, what is it? Do you really want to go back to the way things were? Or is there something else that is bothering you?

That's just NUK - he doesn't mean to be hateful or disrepectful - he's just curt on his blog responses. We love him anyway...even though he is nearly always wrong

Thank you, OldSchoolFootball. You have somewhat restored my faith in the human race. Perhaps a little anger management would help this person. He may be banned when the "blog police" realize what he said at the end of his comment. There was no need to be so immature.

Thanks! I am glad I can rent all kind of room in you head for free.

You have a problem with "long-term Fairburn" whatever? Why don't you go attend a City Council meeting and talk about it? I doubt that anyone else shows up for a Fairburn City Council meeting, so you would have the whole floor to yourself! You could go there and whine about all those poor "long-time Fairburn employees" who got shown the door in front of an audience who might actually care. Uhhhh, maybe they won't.
I'm going out on a limb and guessing they are unemployed because they sucked. Just a guess.

You talk about "rudeness" while attacking a couple of people on a personal level. Get a clue or STFU.

NUK

I didn't see the AJC article you are talking about. Would you mind posting the link?

Since the "PTC clique took over", as you put it, Fairburn has gone from loosing money at the end the year to building a cash reserve of over $13 million. We also consistently lowered property taxes to 5 mills AND started a new Fire Department. If "older long-time employees" had been able to accomplish that, then perhaps Fairburn wouldn't have hired someone else to do the job.

You're worried about Fairburn? FAIRBURN? Do you live in Fairburn? Are you one of those "long-time employees who got fired?" Otherwise, what's the point? Oh, it's salaries for Fairburn employees that you don't pay for unless you live in Fairburn.

So, if you live in Fairburn and somehow found this forum, go for it.
If not, your opinion is of the "who cares?" variety. If you aren't paying their salaries that you hate so much, you have zero standing. If you are one of the "long-time employees" that got fired, suck it up and move on already.

I know, I know, it's HATE all things PTC and since there are people in Fairburn who were in PTC, you have a problem. WAAAAAAAHHHH!

Everyone is entitled to an INFORMED OPINION. Your opinion makes me glad I'm a Darwinist.

NUK

I don't know any of the details on Peachtree City's people. I do know the mayor is a bad guy.

I know someone who works for Fayetteville, and that is how I know about Joe Morton. PTC has twice the population and MAYBE twice the employees. It would be interesting to find out.
