Since I am not a “Citizen of Fillmore” I have no right to complain as the city is not squandering my money per se. But I am a avid participant of the many services and organizations within Fillmore.

Ad for Asst City Manager - for what??? A town of 14-16 thousand people with a average income of $45,000 and you want to hire a Asst Mgr for $130-$150 thousand per year (includes benefits). The city needs workers not paper pushers. Save a tree and hire a worker.

Street Sweeper Tax on your trash bill - What a joke. For years the street sweepers primarily only sweep the middle of the streets as most streets are full of parked cars.

Tagging Out of Control - Persons who can place on fences, buildings, telephone poles, etc. on a weekly basis signs advertising sales, events, lost animals, political announcements, etc. but are unable to remove same. I feel a fine should be levied on these persons; I am sure the schools and city can use some more cash. This is a form of graffiti that is blighting your city.

Fillmore City Fire where are you??? - The other day I was perusing the internet and happened on a site called Wikipedia, a wonderful educational site for most US towns, etc. Well to my surprise, in reading about Fillmore (which was wonderful), there was nothing about the Fillmore Volunteer Fire Dept., an obvious oversight. Well, there are all my observations for today.

Thanks,
