Gloucester, VA County Employees At Hardees During Working Hours?


Today, Monday March 3rd, 2014.  Gloucester schools closed do to winter storm.  County employees are also given the day off.  Gloucester County school maintenance employees show up at Hardees for breakfast.


Only minutes later, another couple of Gloucester County employees show up at Hardees for breakfast.  On a day off, as winter weather is getting ready to break, driving a county vehicle and using it for personal use, increasing liability risks for everyone.

  You would think that after all of the posts we have shown of constant ongoing violations that all of this would stop.  Just because we have not shown any for the past 5 weeks does not mean we have not been catching these employees all over the place.  We have plenty of pictures where this just goes on and on and on.  With the budget for the county now coming up, you have to ask why we are paying so much.  Well, let's look at all the waste.









(Hand over face shaking head).  We still have more.  This is just embarrassing.   A lot of these folks are from the public schools.  They also want more money.  The same people who are now rumored to having their own kitchen at the TC Walker school where the staff there gets their lunches at a price of less than $2,50 per meal.  Is that subsidized by we the taxpayers?  And who is making this food?  And this building is locked from public entrance?  And these folks who are going to locations that have nothing to do with the business they need to conduct, using county vehicles for personal use, that have the ability to make meals at the TC Walker location, at taxpayer expense.........

  Ugh!  The land of the chosen few.

Gloucester, VA Courthouse Library, Proposed Changes To Save Money


In an effort to help save money in the county, a few concerned citizens sat down and started looking at areas where there may be savings to be had by the county by consolidating services.  One of the first areas recognized by the small citizens groups was the Gloucester County Courthouse Library location.  

  The question that came up is why are we paying rent in this space at this time?  We now have the TC Walker school up and running with a tremendous amount of space wide open for use by the county.  Why not move the Courthouse Library branch to the new TC Walker school administration building?  Can anyone think of a better location?  The mix would seem perfect.  Since the taxpayers are already paying for all the extra unused space at the newly remodeled TC Walker school, why not move the library into that unused space?  The savings would be tremendous.  

  Isn't it time to start thinking smarter, consolidating resources, increasing services while decreasing expenses, expanding knowledge in a creative center and stop the divisions of the people and our resources?  With county services now moving more and more to the TC Walker area, it just makes sense to stop paying rent on a building the county does not own and utilize the space where taxpayer dollars are already being spent and cut those costs.  There is no reason to maintain the present location of the Courthouse library in the courthouse area any longer.
