Anonymous Patron writes “News – Post-Tribune (Northwest Indiana) reports As if its budget problems and travel woes weren’t enough, the Gary Public Library has hired a custodian convicted of federal racketeering charges to oversee inventory.
Perry Gordon, 55, had been a custodian at the library’s Tolleston branch before February, when he was elevated to the new position of affirmative action officer and director of inventory control.
He was given the $35,000-a-year job though he did not have key qualifications listed in the job posting released by the library. He does not have a bachelor’s degree or possess a background in employment law, civil rights legislation or a knowledge of state personnel guidelines.”
Gary, Indiana-Trips Along Softly on the Tongue
Gary, Indiana is a cesspool of corruption. Helps when mom is on the Library Board.
Re:Gary, Indiana-Trips Along Softly on the Tongue
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t everyone get in trouble if even *1* person who *did* meet the minimum qualifications complained?
Even if they didn’t actually apply, couldn’t they just say that they were scared off by the mq’s so didn’t bother to apply.
sigh
My mom would bust my bottom for getting into trouble with the law, not get me a cushy job when I wasn’t qualified for it.
Zheesh…
