Approving a Contract extension now for Edison Super Dr. Bragen would be nothing less than fiscal malfeasance.

 Well,  if the Edison Board of Mythomania votes to extend Super Dr. Bernie '@edisonsupt Twitter Blocker' Bragen's 3 1/2 year contract to 5 years after only 10 months on the job, then you should consider it nothing short of Fiscal Malfeasance. 

Committing the People of Edison to another $370k or so now (on his $245k salary) after only 10 months on the job is ridiculous - when there is no need to. 

There's absolutely no requirement to do so, and no logical reason to do so now especially in the middle of a Pandemic, when everyone is struggling without an income stream.

He agreed to a 3 1/2 year contract when he signed on and he should honor it. He hasn't even had his first annual review yet.

If he wants a 5 year contract, then he should build a proven record of performance and in the last year of his current contract, he can negotiate for a 5 year renewal. I would have no problem supporting it under those circumstances.

Any action by the Board to approve this contract extension would be purely political and not in the best interests of the Residents and Taxpayers of Edison.

I expressed my objection to this contract extension to the Board and also requested Dr. Bragen to withdraw his request for an extension, which he declined.

Here's all the communications with the Board and Dr. Bragen:



Anyhoo, never thought it was our responsibility to use our tax dollars to protect a Super from the Big Bad politics here in 'Downtown' Edison.
