Every Queen Needs a Throne!!
(We wonder why the mayor wouldn't let the Portsmouth Times show this picture...)
The City Building is crumbling. The roof leaks. The upstairs offices are health hazard zones. The city has no budget. The water is brown. The potholes are growing. The new "Commissioner of Engineering" is not an actual engineer, but the "Assistant Commissioner" is. The City has no Wastewater Director or Community Development Director. The City's website still lists a fired employees as a department head (and calls the mayor "him.") http://www.portsmouthoh.org/ The City's insurance is still a screwed up mess. She is trying to give all city contracts to out-of-town or out-of-state businesses. The City is out of salt. Volunteers in the mayor's office are handling sensitive information, like personnel files (social security numbers, disciplinary actions, medical records).
But the mayor has a new bathroom. Nice to know she has her priorities straight.
We are still wondering who is going to pay for her grand "powder room." (By the way, that's tile, not linoleum.) Someday (sooner or later) we will have a male mayor. We hope he appreciates the mayor's decorating style.
The mayor's motto: "If it ain't broke, fix it anyway. It's only money."

At least she has something besides the people of Portsmouth to crap on.....
ReplyDeleteThat is disgusting. The clerk's office is falling down on her shoulders, the court clerk's floor is falling in, the ceiling keeps falling on the floor and is going to hurt someone, but thank heavens she has a nice crapper.
ReplyDeleteI have been in the public bathroom at the City building and it is disgusting. Perhaps the money would have been better spent there. She could use the public bathroom if necessary, but can the public make use of hers?
