Do you have to be a Columbia citizen to be on Parks and Rec? Thanks!
ReplyDelete"is seeking residents"
ReplyDeleteApparently, you do not have to be a resident to run the borough or be the public works director, but I'm afraid to handle parks and rec you really need to be! After all that's a volunteer position.
ReplyDeleteOr a police officer or public school teacher or assistant borough manager, either.
ReplyDeleteWhat does it matter if a good employee is a resident ? That's old school thinking.
ReplyDeleteOld school thinking? They are not paying taxes to OUR borough and we are giving them OUR money. Apparently someone thinks they know that not one person in Columbia is qualified to even apply for certain positions because they are given to outsiders without any other applicants considered.
DeleteThe job for a new borough manager wasn't posted, it was given to a specific person. No one else could apply or be considered. What happened to posting a job opening and interviewing applicants? Seems sneaky and underhanded.
