I bet he was planning on paying back all the money he 'borrowed' though, right?!
Hopefully Vektek can make up for the money that was stolen from them.

I'm just curious whatever happened to the word 'accident'? It seems like anymore, no one can make a mistake or do something on accident without people jumping all over them and wanting to sue, etc. I realize that the pain this family feels and will continue to feel for their lost loved one is overwhelming and they probably have a lot of anger, but nothing can bring her back or ease the pain. At least he is showing remorse. At least this 'accident' was not planned - there was no malicious intent. An accident happened and unfortunately a life was lost and it is very sad. It seems some people here feel that the actions were so horrible that he should pay forever or be put in jail. Do you really think jail is going to do any good - for an accident? He's showing remorse and just like the family she left behind, he is going to have to live with this for the rest of his life too.
I just find it interesting how differently people choose to handle a tragedy caused by an accident. I am reminded of the local man hit by a car while out jogging and how completely forgiving his family was of the individual that caused it. Even though that individual (in my opinion) was much more negligent than the man in this case, he was still remorseful and they forgave him. I'm glad there are still forgiving people in the world.

I agree. Trash it. Should not even be wasting time discussing this issue. My company does not pay for my gym membership, so why should a government employee get that luxury and I end up not only paying for my own gym membership but for theirs as well.
Something is seriously wrong when the best jobs around are working for the government!

We have been wanting to try out IG as well, but had not gotten around to it. I had heard nothing, but good things until now as well. But as other posters pointed out, this would be the best time to go.
I have noticed some restaurants (local and elsewhere) that seem to be sacrificing quality food for a cheap alternative during these tougher times. I know money is tight, but a bad experience at a restaurant usually means I don't go back for quite some time. If I'm going to spend the money to go out to eat, please serve quality.

Here's a perfect example of a cut that makes sense:
City employee has baby. City employee tells them she is not coming back after maternity leave. City offers to pay person FULL TIME PAY & BENEFITS for her to work just 2 days a week. How can City employee say no?
First off, I would like to know who has the authorization to make the above decision on spending tax payer money and secondly since salaries are typically the largest expense a business can have, perhaps the City needs to take a really strong look at the salaries and if all those positions are really necessary. Frankly, the above example proves this needs to be looked into.

Oh give me a break gg! Amazing how YOU turned Observation's post that showed his/her disagreement with Obama's policies into a RACIST issue when there was no mention of race.
So according to you, no one is allowed to disagree with a black person otherwise it's racism?!

Good question giggles! I'll paint them a couple signs myself for a bargain price of $25,000 and save the taxpayers 5 grand. If a few 'no left turn' signs cost that much, can you imagine how much it would cost them to actually fix the bridge/mistake they originally made? Who was in charge of that mess anyway? Shouldn't that person/company be held financially responsible for screwing it up and fix it on their own dime?

Hey the Gazette Poll and I are on the same page. Crazy!

Wait, did they say REconstruction?! Meaning, they constructed it once (using tax payer dollars) and now they have to do it again?! You would think with the amount of money (our money) that is used for these projects, that maybe someone would consider getting it right the first time. Prime example is the intersection of Graphic Arts and 15th that is still blocked off. I would just like to say thank you for wasting my money for me.
