Every once in a while, I hear something so absurd that I have to savor it…just for the humor. Corey continues to entertain.
There has been talk for some time in the Stewart budget proposal, about doing away with 2 federal holiday observances for county employees. The two holidays were Columbus Day and Presidents Day. From what I was able to gather, this was just the final shot to already bad morale in the county. The employees didn’t like it.
Corey announced today in the BOCS meeting that he would not be present during Supervisors Time but that he had a proposal. Naturally he butt in line and outlined his wants, although not at the appropriate time. He suggested that the supervisors agree to not observe Columbus Day or Presidents’ Day as county holidays. He then said that it was great to observe Washington and Lincoln but it also meant that one would have to observe all the presidents like Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon. He then proposed giving back the holidays to the employees on Lincoln and Washington’s actual birthdays.
