Rules for thee, but not for me?

Rules for thee, but not for me? If you have been following social media or attending city commission meetings, you are likely aware of the ethics complaints that have been filed. The primary concern raised is the lack of oversight regarding city officials' use of city-issued credit cards. Specifically, there have been allegations of questionable charges on one commissioner's credit card. While one commissioner was singled out and investigated, the city commission declined to authorize an outside investigation into all city-issued cards. That is troublesome. Are they afraid of what an investigation might turn up? As someone with 25 years of management experience, I have only had one instance where I was issued a company credit card. In my opinion, eliminating city-issued credit cards could be beneficial. In most corporate settings, employees are provided with a daily meal allowance guideline when traveling. Expenses are reimbursed upon submission of receipts, minimizing the potential for questionable charges. It is perplexing that the entire commission would not welcome an independent investigation. If elected, I pledge to refuse a city credit card. It is time for honesty, accountability, and integrity in city hall. Elect me as your next commissioner, and together, we can strive to make our city a city of excellence.
