Supervisor Mohan must begin searching the country to find a Superintendent for our Waste Water Treatment Plant. The Civil Service list came out last Friday and none of the people on the list would accept a job in Amherst. Amherst’s reputation as a town with unstable leadership and little job security drew them to other jobs.
No matter what ‘bull’ Mohan tells the people he and he alone has caused Amherst to earn this reputation, as place to avoid for a job
We also don’t have a Town Engineer and if you ask why the answer comes back, Mohan. His method of messing up everything he touches isn’t a secret anymore. Look at the Town’s lists of lawsuits from vendors and others. It is the highest in Amherst’s history.
His MESSING UP of areas he knows little or nothing about has cost us a great deal of money. For example, our Waste Water Treatment Plant needs parts and workers to function correctly. As of now we are out of compliance according to the DEC.
Mohan’s slow moving drainage plan, the crawling pace of work being done on our Snyder Community Center, the massive amount of work needed to be done quickly on our sewer system, the halting of polluting Ellicott Creek, his lacking of signing contracts and so many other issues have all contributed to slowing down Amherst.
This list of what hasn’t been done or is being partly done can all be placed into a folder titled “Mohan doesn’t give a heck”. He is more interested in using his power over the weak workers who won’t tell him he’s a foolish old man. He is causing Amherst to be labeled a third class town.
Mohan covers his mistakes by accusing workers of being dishonest and untrustworthy. He has a small nucleus of dominators who cover his blunders and try to make him look like he is helping Amherst. He should kiss the ground for acquiring the new Comptroller he wanted. This allowed him to rid himself of the excellent one we had; who told it like it was.
This small group of officials should be fired and replace by workers who aren’t so frightened of losing their high paying jobs. If they stay they will only continue to bring Town Hall down by misusing their power to cover the old man’s blunders and giving in to his wishes.
