Welcome Jeff

      With Council talking about closing the City golf course, hopefully the interim manager for this season can offer some seasoned advice on golf, money and people...

      Jeff Fallon is a former banker, a lifelong golfer and an affable person who will oversee the proposed farewell season...,

      Hopefully his expertise with money and people can help a Council and staff who are not grasping the dynamics and economics of running a business....

      There will be no leases...What they need are incentives to go there and play, or eat or whatever...

      Nestled amidst an iconic Park,the course is praised by players but Council has painted a picture of decline and doom since buying the links in what was billed as a way to unify park land under City ownership..,,.

       No one involved with that purchase seems to have had any business acumen or even the ability to buy a property, like inspecting the basement.

      The golf course and the Park need to be seen as a regional attraction and asset.  Only then will there be the customer base and broader financing sources... Until then it will be interim measures, talk of losing money and a culture of failure.,,,,The dangers of government trying to run an enterprise operation, but the hand is dealt and the City best play to win.

Umm…forgive me if I don’t put as much confidence as you do, in the ability of a guy who worked for the bank which lost millions loaning to such things as that same failing golf course, a local developer and the former Ultimate Goal (which they eventually donated to the Y). That bank should stick with SBA guaranteed lending, so it only loses 10% on their bad lending judgments.

That’s the first time I actually supported something Jr has ever done
He told Daddy I have my own life and I’ll marry who want
It’s easier when you know your tyrant dad has one foot in the grave😵🏴‍☠️

Security issue, 8:39. Your people keep trying to kill him and it makes it too easy for you if he goes to a planned event.

There will be more weddings of his son he can attend. Loyalty and fidelity isn't a Trump strong suit

That water fountain & some city employees have a lot in common.

You don’t care about Junior, 11:52? Shame on you. Blasphemy. He’s American royalty for crying out loud. I’m telling Claudia.

Wow, do you always hear these voices in your head 9:26? Good Lord. Maybe drinks before 10 AM?

Staged assassination attempts aren't security issues, 1:35.

Oh sure, that park is “iconic” in the same way a beige wall is a bold design statement—technically present, emotionally optional. And the golf course? A real winner, if your idea of success is meticulously watering acres of grass just so people can lose a dozen balls and their patience in record time. Close them both.

For 9:26

Watertown Savings Bank (WSB) is considered to be on very firm financial footing. As an independent mutual bank with assets exceeding
$1.4 billion, it maintains strong regulatory capital levels (e.g., a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 11.59 %) and holds a "Satisfactory" rating from the FDIC for its community lending efforts.

Watertown Savings Bank

Core Financial Highlights

$165 million in total bank equity capital, which comfortably exceeds regulatory requirements.
Regulatory Health: The bank’s Tier 1 Capital Ratio stands at a robust 28.74%
, signaling high resilience and significant protection against potential loan losses.
Conservative Lending: The bank’s loan-to-deposit ratio is conservative, demonstrating disciplined liquidity and robust cash management.

5:15, that does not negate that WSB used very poor discretion in extending the loans I listed.

The water is free…but the pesticides and lawn mowing have high costs.

It must be difficult getting the actors to stage the assassination attempts knowing that they will end up dead, 6:47.

Can’t swing a club, 6:51?
No talent or just too lazy?

So when is council planning and shutting down a fire station?

Considering two of the three pretend assassins lived 11:18, that's not bad odds.

Right, 5:49. Spending the rest of their life in prison if they aren’t shot and killed is also an incentive for your volunteers.
You libs are so comical.
