Nancy got her job through Jimmy Connors in the early 90's, period, end of story. I remember when she told me. Yes, some of the hypocrites at DD can call her a croney all they want, but she's no different that many other employees at city hall. What differentiates Nancy, in my opinion, is the fact that at one time she was an exceptionally nice, friendly person...now she is an exceptionally bitter person. All that hate seems like it has welled up inside her, and is rotting her from the inside out. It's a real shame.

(we might have to 'splain this one to the newbies)

Has she even posted over there lately? Haven't seen her here in a while either...

There is not an employee working at City Hall that did not at one time or another didn't ask someone to get them their job. They or someone they are related too, or know very well who asked the sitting Mayor, whoever he was too give so and so a job. Simple and Fact. Now the problem with this gang of clowns is that Mayor Doherty will not allow the inmates to run the asylum, he has taken control of management and not allowed the Unions to dictate the day to day operations. Mayor Doherty is going to make the City Hall Employees do an honest days work for whatever pay is negiociated. Apparently the public agrees, if anyone can remember when Mayor Wenzel, followed by Mayor Connors were in office the unions ran all the operations, management rights went through union attorneys, who ended up winning thousands upon thousands of arbitration awards year after year. the City Controllers Office can verify how much was awarded in arbitrations between 1986-2001. Then check and see how much was awarded for Mayor Doherty's 2 terms. That is why the Employees are all crying about how tough thei Mayor is, he is running the show, exactly the way the tax payers elected him to do so. HE first Campaigned and promised to do exactly what he is doing, and was awarded a second term, and now he will be awarded a third term to complete his total mission to finalize contract packages for all the employees and too get the City out of Distress and to continue to move forward and Restoring OUR Pride. !!!!!!!!!!

I remember when Nancy Krake took 2 hour lunches and laughed about her pals punching her (and themselves) in and out of the office. Being a union rep really took its toll on the artificial blonde. She's lost any sense of humor and now appears to be bitter that she must work a full day. The hand swipe time clock the HR dept. bought really PO'd the city hall gang, didn't it?

Used to be a bunch of cackling hens complaining about their husbands and bragging about their multiple affairs. Now its just a bunch of disgruntled cast-offs lead by the most disgruntled of them all. Ahhh, the good old days of the Connors administration. All you had to do was show up on payday. Damn you mayor Doherty! Damn you all to hell!

Anyone want to talk about the stage-hand union jobs at the Cultural Center that city workers get HUGE wages for while on city time? Who belongs to that union? Only city union workers. When do shows run? always at night and on weekends. Wow, I thought cops and firefighters had to work those hours. Guaranteed minimums hours worked, triple overtime, mandated lunch breaks, no one can touch a light switch or lift a curtain. C'mon Dave, tell us about those jobs. You too Ann Marie. How can regular folks get into the stage-hand union?

How about city workers attending school functions with radios on their hips so they could watch their kids sing, play, act, etc?

Shall we discuss DPW crews getting picked up at their home along the garbage route - after the start time? Anyone remember the good old days of "when the collection route was over the work day was over?" I'll bet the DPW misses that.

Doherty? Yep, pure scum. How dare he hold city workers to the same standards expected in the private sector.

Well, I have to say this ... I remember those days which are long gone ... but if the DPW had a real problem with this don't you think they would be riding the I hate Doherty train along with the rest of the unions? But instead you have a department who backs this Mayor when he runs for re-election ... not only last time but this time also ... hmmmm ... makes you think doesn't it?

Why was it that they (DPW) found Mayor Doherty reasonable enough to sit down and negotiate a contract with ... yet the clerical end of the same union cannot do this? Again it makes you think .... hmmmmmm ... even with the changes imposed on their department since he took office, they still manage day to day to do their jobs without whinning ... and sit and negotiate ... and do their jobs ... without crying at the podium week after week ... they don't take every potshot at the city that they can fit into a 5 minute time span for everyone to see.

Maybe the other Unions should try this ... try and talk to the Mayor before going to that Podium .... it might just help in the long run!

While I agree with Ag, I also remember that the late 90's, early 2000 year's loudmouth union rep was Sam Vitris. He may have been more nuts than Gervasi and Stulgis combined - but he still figured out a way to make it work. 'Nuff said. Good points all the way around.
