"Kaminski was the highest paid city employee with a salary of $90,169 annually" (The Independent, March 22, 2012).
Kaminski was a loyal flak to our prior mayor, the Extraordinary One, Frank Cicchinelli.
Kaminski always had Frank's back, and knew he was the one who had to take the bullets as a result of Cicchinelli's choices to spend dollars meant for our parks on a golf course that was financed in such a way that it could never turn a profit.
Kaminski was faithful to the bitter end, blaming the neglect that had consumed our parks on 'park vandals,' and not a lack of money for basic maintenance.
And if you complained about the deplorable state of our parks....
"There is no doubt the parks and recreation department is getting more criticism this year (than in the past)," he said. "I think the reason is two things. One there will also be anti- (Mayor Frank) Cicchinelli people. If he says the sky is blue they will think it is green and, two, there are people who are continually looking for something to pick on" (Kenn Kaminski, The Independent, May 10, 2010).
Yes, "anti-Cicchinelli."
We wish our former Parks Czar all the best as he assumes his new job, and draws a salary commiserate with his worth.
As a final good bye, we take a one last look at the havoc wrecked by Kenn Kaminski's 'park vandals.'
Ah yes!
Vandals
Good luck, Kenn.
