When Robert Cerasoli creates the City Hall organization chart, I'm expecting a real shake up, a furore. We’re all hoping that the Inspector General’s office becomes the Ombudsman.

They have an office called "Mayor’s Office of Public Advocacy" so I went in and asked them what they do. They handed me a brochure with all the phone numbers of City Department Heads, you know, the ones you call and no one answers. What City Hall needs besides everything is a true Ombudsman.

It has to be in writing and most of these people know that, so they won't put anything in writing. That's how they cover their hindquarters. Anyone who lives here should probably have a lawyer on retainage, really. The idea of the code enforcement official saying it was “off the list” wouldn’t do much to make me feel better.

I was just down at the permits office with a resident trying to bet a permit and was treated with such disdain also. The guy could barely be prodded to listen to my questions and was extremely rude. The residents house didn't have a damage assessment online and so that opened another can of worms. Ugggg..... such BS.

If it were me dealing with it, by now I'd probably be spending every day out walking the streets with the colander on my head, arguing with the telephone poles, (or something like that.)
