MAYOR MIKE THOMAS AND THE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. – PANAMA CITY BEACH, FL
They say their Police Department is 75 percent under-staffed. That means they’re also overworked and underpaid.
Yet the City Council voted to pay the City Manager’s girlfriend’s company $280,000 rather than hire more officers.
The girlfriend’s company then recommended a new multi-million dollar City Hall for Mayor Mike Thomas as its first priority.
And to add insult to injury, Councilman John Reichard led the charge recently to give the City Manager a 10 percent pay raise to nearly $140,000 per year.
Now Mayor Thomas says they need to pass more laws and ban more things because they don’t have enough police officers.
They are enriching themselves at our expense. The self-dealings at City Hall are brazen and obscene.
