Not since.<br />Other Mayor's allowed the Deputy Mayor to be in charge when they had surgeries, but mostly when out of state.

I want a Mayor who gets the job done. Your claims are irrelevant to that issue.<br />3. I believe the number of people who agree with me that the Mayor does a good job, a better job than Ms. Russo-Driska would do, is larger than the number of people who agree with you.<br />4.

Even though as your Charter information states, he is Mayor 24/7. If I used that criteria, the time out off from work would have been increased.<br />The information provided to me by the City is not speculative, it is accurate as the Mayor or someone he designates inputs the information. I believe it to be accurate, unless you know it to be untrue?<br />You are wrong that a Deputy Mayor has never assumed the Mayor's duties when he is not physically present. It has been done by every Mayor Drew and every Mayor prior to Mayor Dan Drew.John Milardonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239070883775529047.post-84817385399464485842015-10-04T11:21:23.345-04:002015-10-04T11:21:23.345-04:00Anon: What's your point?

I for one want my tax dollars to go towards the second. Your research while accurate is pointless. The mayor is so absent, his aide Joe Samolis picks the mayors kids up most of the time & drives the mayor mobile around to cover & make it look like Dans around more than he is.

Attempting to draw conclusions from what you reviewed is speculative at best.<br /><br />The Charter requires:<br /><br />The Mayor shall be the chief executive officer of the City and shall devote full time to the duties of the office. Full time shall mean primary occupation.<br /><br />Per the Charter, there are no set hours. It is not, and has never been, a set Monday to Friday forty hour week. <br /><br />There is also no reason why the Deputy Mayor should be appointed to assume the Mayor's duties because the Mayor is not physically in the office. That has never been done by any mayor, nor should it be done.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
