The carnage continues at the library. So many good people, caring people who have given the high level of service the community has come to expect at the Troy Public Library, are being let go today. Several were told yesterday, but most are hearing today.
One by one they are being called into the Director's office and getting the bad news. And while waiting to find out...Who's going to be called? My shift is over, is it safe to go home? Should I report tomorrow? What is happening? Am I safe or am I gone? Did you hear about...?
This is the real face of Option 1.
I despair for our community. I despair for the truth. But today I despair for my co-workers, many of whom are going to sit at their dinner tables tonight with not much of an appetite, trying to convince themselves it will be all right, a gnawing pain in the pit of their stomachs, some wondering why, some wondering how they're going to be able to pay bills, afford medicines, etc.
Real lives, real people. Please remember them when you think about this situation. It's not an intellectual exercise, a financial game, or a political opportunity. It's either a bad situation forced by circumstances, or it's a moral and political scandal. What do you think?

The city of tomorrow, today, is quickly becoming the city of yesterday, now. This site is dedicated to honest discourse, from the left, right and center (those who voted YES and those who voted NO) in hopes that we the residents of Troy can take back our city from the "professional" politicians and their administrators to make our community whole once again. Our fiscal crisis is real. Join us in seeking honest solutions.

Many of these dedicated and caring workers are single parents. Imagine the shock and discontent they must be feeling.
This is REAL folks! It is not a game being played to force new taxes. Reality is reality. The next time you visit the library don't be surprised to find long lines, less computers, and overwhelmed employees.
The Troy Foundation EDucational Excellence group, sees no money problems in TROY,taking their golf outing to Oxford.why not Troy,,maybe Mayor Schillings connection to Oxford is stronger then to TROY.Only $169,per golfer,if TROY steering groups "think' TROY is NOT good enough there must be a HUGE mixed-up in the meaning support your city.
