Couple of days ago all local newspapers covered the scathing criticism of Delaware County vehicle use practices in the State Comptroller's audit report.
Delaware County, through its Chief of the Board of Supervisors Mr. Eisel assured the Delaware County taxpayers that what is going on is not corruption and that Delaware County will sure change their practices.
Well, they are not changing.
Just minutes ago I was walking my dogs (at about 5:10 pm) on the Legion Field in Delhi, NY.
Kids were playing baseball there.
Here we go - the Department of Social Services white car No. 95 came down the road at a high speed, windows down, elbow hanging outside, down a dirt road, stones kicking up, a clear joy ride, no concern for the county-owned vehicle, because if that was his own car, I doubt if he would go that fast with the windows open and the dust and stones coming through.
The car stopped by the baseball field, a heavy-set man in a baseball cap on backwards, black T-shirt, pops out of the car - and stays at the field, watching the game.
I did not have time to stay on and see for how long he was there, but I wonder whether that car is equipped with the "black box" that would show the route. I will try to obtain it from Delaware County So-So Services on a Freedom of Information request.
It is nice to know my tax dollars work somewhere so "efficiently", as Mr. Eisel recently pledged to Delaware County taxpayers.
I wonder what Mr. Eisel is driving now.
