Nothing gets done

   August 13, 2007

The county salary database has now been used over 22,000 times. As much as the county leaders want to complain about how unfair it was for the IN to publish the salaries, the reality is that the county payroll wouldn’t be an issue if the public felt the county was well run and if the local economy was booming.

In Chicago, people put up with the Daley political machine because things get done. In New Orleans, people joke that if Edwin Edwards was still governor the city would be cleaned up and well on the road to recovery from Hurricane Katrina. Yes, a few of Edwards’ buddies would be made millionaires, but things would get done.

Here nothing gets done…..at least not for 18 months.
