    Ridder is feathering his nest,building his resume for his "retirement" career.Hire a professional firm to handle finding a new leader.Ridder needs to get on with cleaning out the Huff mess but we wasted last year because of the cute Banwart-Landis/Jasper Commission appointments of clueless Board members.Ridder is great on talk but not a humble leader.

    I wish he would focus on what my paycheck, benefits, and schedule will look like next year. It would be helpful to know before June 1. At the moment it looks like a continuation of the same crap that Huff brought us years ago. I'm looking for another job unless something promising comes out of this meeting.

    Fringe benefits? I'd like to have fringe benefits. All I have is insurance that takes half my paycheck. I don't get free family insurance like Paul Barr and some of the other lofty "professionals." What a joke R8 has become.
