If Rebbecca is the manager she has to get the rest of these people under control, they have to answer to ONE manager , the controller is not the manager and saying bad things about tax payers is not the way this should work , she works for the people and should have the best intrestes of the people in every comment she makes or quite or be fired just like private companys. So please Rebecca get this borough under control , it is and has been out of control , and needs rained in and heads should roll. Would this stuff happen in Lancaster ? you all know it would not , so why here , some one needs to get control and now it looks like you are the one . good luck this includes the mayor who is also out of control.

Good luck with that,this group just likes to give our tax money away,fire Helm , he should have been going 10 years ago,and the self appointed controller should be sent back over the bridge to be nasty to her home town people. I bet Wrightsville borough don't make comments about there tax payers like she does about Columbia people. CLEAN HOUSE REBBECCA , GET THE RESPECT AND TRANSPARENTCY BACK IN COLUMBIA BOROUGH OR YOU WILL JUST BECOME ONE OF THEM!
