WRFA public affairs director Jason Sample talks with the three former long-time members of the Jamestown Board oof Public Utilities – John Zabrodsky, Carl Pillitierri, and Wayne Rishell – who were not reappointed to the board at the start of 2016. The three offer their concerns with the city’s use of BPU funding to offset annual budget gaps, along with its future implications for BPU customers and residents of Jamestown. They also discuss their concerns with the city’s Joint Task Force on Efficiency and Cost Reduction, which they feel has yet to adequately address and responded to a series of cost-cutting measures that were suggested by the business community, despite being created at the start of 2015.
This is the same thing that happened to Jamestown General Hospital. Money from the Hospital went into the General fund.
