No sleeping on the job, City Council members

I have read and heard a great deal about the unruly circumstances of the city government. I remember as an employee how considerate and thoughtful people were.

Politics has always been in government, so when one council person says things are not going in his or her direction it is political. That is what government is!

I commend David Wray for his view as stated in the March 9 paper through his attorney: “Getting fired from your job is rough. I hope the city treats Mitch better than they treated me.”

Wray’s integrity and outstanding performance as police chief really should tell us something about him. He took office when things were unsettled and was trying to bring them back to normalcy.

I ask City Council members not to sleep on the job and to stop being so critical of each other, and do the job they were elected to do. We have read and heard Mitchell Johnson was not doing his job. There is not any joy in seeing someone lose his job. If one’s ego steps into one’s path, we sometimes fail.
