Who on the Council is following up with The City Manager on the results of the investigation? Apparently somebody has to ask for the report and nobody has bothered to ask and The City Manager is not forthcoming. We understand that it is quite an interesting read who sent the violating emails, and to whom these offensive emails were sent. (And, this of course begs the question - why didn't more receivers report this and to whom did they forward the inappropriate emails. This is causing a back log, particularly in HRD (with the suspended boss) where others' fates rest upon the The City Manager's decision on policy on this issue. The Manager is NOT moving to make a decision; will he be granting the other violators with the same largesse he bestowed upon LT? And if he does let them off the hook then does that leave the City vulnerable to yet another lawsuit because others were fired and escorted out the door for less?
Mayor Pro-Tem - you asked for the investigtion, now ask for the report - Or Councilman Ford - Wayne's your boy - get him to cough up the report and make a decision on policy. Maybe we need to help provide deadlines, so let's say - by next council meeting, Thursday, January 17 - let's have the report and a policy decision. I think this would be appropriate Ed, since you like grandstanding at full Council meetings.

Seemingly lost (by scarce mention) in the "LT Porn Melodrama" is this: What if one of the recipients of an e-mail complained to the EEOC? What kind of exposure is created when a high-ranking city official e-mails pornography (or, even "just" sexually explicit material) to city employees who -by virtue of the official's status -- must be subordinate to the sender?
LT's moral high-ground (a term I use loosely) is destroyed by the simple prospect of an employee complaining "my supervisor sent me porn."

Recaping The Waynettes"
Regaring the KSHB story, I wonder if HR even bothered getting around to pulling a background check on the alleged molester?
Has anyone asked GOB what his department's response time is on checking salary, employement, and criminal backgrounds? After someone starts working, is that an industry best practice?
Didn't only the HR and the HRD departments (paper pushing departments) receive salary adjustments to keep up with the market when we can't seem to get the right planning, finance, accountant, or engineering professionals who control the majority of the City's budget?
How many people have been fired for inappropriate sexual materials on their computers in the past 5 years? There was at least one.
Who gets free parking and who doesn't? Why do some employees pay to subsidize the parking of others since the City owns the garage and it's full on a daily basis?
