When did the Civil Service Commission ever vote to reverse any hiring, firing or disciplinary decision made by a city department head? Seems like a “watchdog” who has no teeth to me.

Why stop with the civil service commission? Why not list ALL the commissions whose members are hand-picked by the mayor and his minions and ask voters which ones they would like to keep or eliminate. But that would require transparency, as lists of the committees and their members are not easily available to the public, and sometimes require filing a FOIA request.

Civil service laws maintain transparency and the civil service commission upholds those laws and holds politicians accountable. This check and balance against rampant cronyism must be maintained. Why eliminate this commission now after 60 years? Government must be transparent and accountable to the people it serves. Eliminating this commission only adds excessive secrecy and serves no public policy purpose

The big guy does what he want, the Civil Service Commission is a sham, currently all hires, promotions and raises must have Mark Guidos’ stamp of approval on it. Don’t believe it, F.O.I.A. a few documents and see for yourself it will be there.

Marge to say this is going to be messy is a joke, they want u out of the City period. They (Big Boy) and his rat pack feel u are useless, and a thorn in their ass, so they are going after u. They hope this will put an end to u, and Goodrich, and I have already received info, via the mail and they feel this will be the end of the both of u. You better line up your friends, or else they are going to win. Good Luck, but I think they got u and Goodrich.

“Could get messy”, you got that right.
