LaSalle Insider

So we initially hire an economic director from Peru and give him a trial basis to see if he is a good match for our needs.  He’s from Peru and has a business in Peru but its a trial so no need to move right….Fast forward and the City of laSalle decides take him off of the trial period and hire him for three years.

Isn’t it time to move?  How can you promote a city to live in and work in and bring your business to if its not good enough for the man promoting it?

Last I checked Don and his wife lived at 3006  St James Drive, PERU!

His business is in Peru and before he says its his wife’s business check out his website.  There you will find him prominently displayed as a director of the business.  His websites are mytupperware.com as well as true vision enterprise and businesscoaching4U.com.  Don’s a very busy guy and I understand his wife Donna has a position at St Bede Academy.

Just seems that if I am trying to sell a Chevy I shouldn’t be driving a Ford!

I ‘d like to hear your thoughts…..

At the last council meeting from Monday August 9th I mentioned on the floor that our Mayor has continued unabated in spending tax dollars on useless ads in the local paper.  The Trib did not include this in their coverage of the meeting….bet you can guess why.  All they have to do lately is call Jeff in his office and tell him they need him to buy another ad to fill a page dedicated to who know s what!  Lets look at what you the taxpayer have supported with your money recently…

a safety reminder that school is starting/a salute to summer youth ball teams/a go lp cavaliers advertisment/a salute to the graduates of High School back in May/Fishing Rodeo/…

That’s just a few of the latest ads where we are the only city spending money on large ads (usually the largest ad of any of those shown) and yet we make no contributions to any charities during this economic downturn.

Its time the finance committee reeled in this addicted ad buyer and closed the checkbook!  Please take a moment and look at the street in front of your house or the increase in your water bill and ask yourself “is this the best use of my tax dollar?” If you agree with me call the Mayor’s office and tell him to just say “no!”  Better yet tell him to lose the News tribune”s phone number.

They have become the pusher for his addiction and our Mayor needs an intervention from the Finance Committee….and soon!
