I can’t help but wonder if the sources of the leaks are being repaired before the new wallpaper goes up.

Awarding a contract to a company with a higher price, but based in DeKalb is a different problem.

This newspaper story is really kind of absurd. It is very unfortunate that DeKalb is shedding employees, but the preferred method is through voluntary retirement. DeKalb has twice as many employees as Cobb, a comparbly sized government that is well run. We need to slim down. Every organization that owns property has to maintain it. The Maloof building isn’t exactly the Taj Mahal. given the number of buildings that DeKalb County owns, I’m sure the county is spending more than a $100k on maintenace, and it should.

But that would apply not just to the wallpaper, but also the wall itself.

Is covering up a moldy wall considered cosmetic? Yeah, I guess it is.

Ah well, just following in the footsteps of Tim Geithner, Charlie Rangel, etc., of the federal government.
