Dear ER:
As a 4-year volunteer at BCHD, I learned from the inside that BCHD makes some pretty poor decisions. For instance, BCHD had no need for any election expenses last November. No one wanted to run for the Board, so no election was needed. Instead, BCHD spent $600,000 on lawyers, consultants, and fees to put the voter-rejected Measure BC on the ballot. It turns out that $600,000 of District taxpayer funding is enough to pay two BCHD executives for a year. Taxpayers would be well-served by cutting the cost of the BCHD CEO and CFO and reducing the budget by $600,000. BCHD’s $2.4 million per year in executive pay is excessive, and cutting $600,000 from the budget would be a benefit to District taxpayers.
