Your Evening Sift



It's Thursday so make sure you check out the SFDB Weekend Widget in the right sidebar as we move through the holiday. Let's get going with your evening Sift before it gets too late.

A- The latest kerfuffle in the political world is pretty immature, according to Bark Bark Woof Woof.

B- South Florida Theatre Scene's regularly scheduled weekly wrap up is ready for your review.

C- The latest image posted by Go Hydrology! looks almost surreal.

D- South Florida Lawyers makes me laugh.

E- Eye on Miami tries to make some sense of the Miami-Dade mayoral results.
The point is: voters are paying attention is ways they hadn't, when the economy was flush and everyone was using their homes as personal ATM's. These are tea leaves from a low-turnout election. Still they point in a direction for candidates ambitious enough to set a new course for 2012.
F- Random Pixels breaks the news that public servants change jobs in Miami-Dade county government...at least I think that's the news.

G- Piola's pizza is adequate, Boy Writes Miami maintains.
Piola pizza is fine. It’s no Spris, but it gets the job done.

F-It's ironic Rick, that someone like yourself who produces no original reporting, finds it necessary to make constant snide remarks about those of us who do.

Yes, my post is about a government worker changing jobs. The point of the post - in case you missed it is about the fact that some are choosing to leave rather than be fired by the new mayor.

BTW, I'm finishing up my research on another government employee and I'll be putting that post up soon.

It's one that you probably won't like either, but for different reasons.

I did miss your point, Bill. Don't high level employees in government administrations usually leave when there's a change in administrations? I didn't think that was that significant.

Snide? Really?

Okay, then.

Maybe it's not significant to you because you don't live and vote in Miami-Dade.

It took me a couple of readings but I got it.
Gimenez was one of the lone voices against these high salaried do-nothing employees.
He's mayor now, so they're worried they'd be fired.
Can I assume that by retiring and not being fired they still get a whole bunch of perks and benefits?
Otherwise, why not just wait and see if they get slashed?
