I have been at the same job for over 5 years. I run an apartment complex. The first 3 years here I had at a minimal a monthly visit from the Mosquito Control people, checking all the drains,checking for mosquito breeding hotspots and numbers, studying the wet lands in the back etc. Not so for the past 2 years. Why? Barely at all this past year...why? I have had to call Mosquito Control out more than once in the past few months for them to work to control the wet lands- never before have I had to request this...why? The city has not grown any in land mass, so why less service? Could it be to "show" us the NEED for more people? I agree there is a need, a need for DIFFERENT people, and this may very well include the over paid director. Last election I was torn a bit in my vote for Papy or her opponent because I thought the MCB was doing a fine job and she had been there for pretty much all of it, but I liked her opponents words of less cost- lower budget- lower administration and that IF raises were to go to anyone, it would be to the hard workers in the fields.I did not choose Papy. I will be quite vocal next election MCB members, stop spending!!!! Start working as a team and work on killing and controlling mosquitos and their deseases like you have for years before!
