Stortz added to infrastructure maintenance with the help of Zoppo, and left some ongoing cost saving efforts that Ward has since dropped. Stortz also got a contract that increased the amount some employees pay for their medical.<br />Having worked for 4 mayors, Stortz certainly wasn't the worst, and probably took the most business like approach to running things.<br />Don't forget, Ward fought Stortz all the way: in fact he fought everybody, just as he does now.<br /><br />If he inherited a mess, and I do not think he did, just what has Ward done in the 26 months he has been in office?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-27546789635982819032010-01-18T13:08:06.295-05:002010-01-18T13:08:06.295-05:00Mr. Ward,
