This does not sound like anything more than a private business venture, to be largely funded by the borough.
ReplyDeleteGenerally speaking one has to pass a civil service exam prior to even being considered for a job with the commonwealth. No guarantee that anyone living here in Columbia could get a job at this call center. No guarantee that those coming in to work here will spend a dime in the boro. It is a total risk with the use of taxpayer money. Little to no benefit for the boro.
ReplyDeleteI worked where parking became landlocked and the township refused to allow expansion of parking lot area. A private shuttle service was established and the workers quickly became disgruntled. Anyone that has had to hunt for parking or depend on a shuttle knows that frustration. When I took my next job, parking was one of my first questions.
