" Hey Rufus...it seems you really don't know anything about how the City Attorney is paid by the City of Lewiston or you would know that he is not on retainer and the only time he does get paid is when he attends the meetings or actually performs work for the City. So I guess he's saving the tax payers money by not being there unless there is a problem. Of course you don't seem to get much else right so it might benefit you (or not as you seem to like to make trouble) if you check out your "facts" before you keep complaining. "

" This is an April Fools Joke from the WDN Right?? What happened to at will employment. Thanks again boys that have nothing done below!! Does the other city employees have contracts?? The only other that I know of is our attorney and he is on retrainer- but never shows up to meetings, again dollars well spent!! "

" WDN and citizens this is not a 2 year contract, it ceases 12/31/10 that's 2 1/2 years plus from now, then add on the last year plus, we will have had to put up with her for almost 4 years. Thanks, Rich, Jack, Bruce, and Lee. I will leave Pat out as he opposed and had the sensible mind to not do this. "

" Rich and Jack How can you do this?? Amazing how Bruce was absent. This has been protocol with you idiots when a major decision is being approved. Learning from Lee, this is all being orchastrated before the meetinngs. WHERE IS THE LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES open meeting laws etc. THIS IS ENOUGH BS!! I am embarrassed if your a family member to be assoiated with these so called men of the city. "

" Wow!!! The citizens even asked the council at a previous about a contract and they SAID that there wasnt going to be one. THIS IS WHY THERE IS DISTRUST against the "council". How can we as tax payers believe in there decisons with our tax monies. I would be embarrASSed to show my face in town if I were approving of this decision. "

" This week's action by some members of the Lewiston City Council is yet another example of the contempt they hold for the citizens of the community. Eyota eliminated the position to get rid of the woman; but we on the other hand get sucked into her agenda. A once proud city is now the laughing stock of the area. So sad! "

" Wow talk about not listening to the people! I'm not from Lewiston but with all thats gone on since this lady was given this position you would have thought the board would have put a little more thought into this before giving her this contract. I feel for the people of Lewiston. "

" So they city can afford to pay Barb all this money but yet the streets in town can not be fixed? I would think that after all of the concerned citizens have shown up at council meetings and even started their own group that Barb would not be given a contract for another 2 years. She sure has the City Council wrapped around her finger. What a crock! "

" The idiots on the Lewiston city council must have been watching the Winona school board meetings a year ago when the WAPS board did the same thing with their superintendent. Since that contract extension the school has spent over $43,000 trying to find out why the school choir was short $17,000 on their trip to Poland.
Looks like the mayor has really taken care of his friend, the administrator. The citizens of Lewiston better show up at the next meeting and let the council know they are subverting the will of the people.

" What happened to checks and balances? What is this lady doing working in both the legislative and executive branches of government? That is unconstitutional at the federal level. I don't know what Minnesota law has to say about it, but it really ought to be illegal. "
