Koinonia Homes aka Land BANK

KOINONIA MEANS COMMUNITY
Koinonia (coin-o-NEE-yah) is a rich, complex word of Greek origin. Community, partnership and generous sharing are at the heart of the word. When translated into English, it means fellowship.

 

Okay, this is really starting to smell funny and no one is going to say ANYTHING? 

The Land Bank is now...ALSO a Social Service Agency?

Rokakis is no angel. He is blindly arrogant and vindictive to the extent that he can actually be pretty stupid. He is no different from any other elected official in this county with a bloated and overpaid staff. Is there a payroll anywhere in the county that did not have a Rokakis on it at one time or another?

He packed the land bank with some of the priciest staff possible - no gratuity payments there - and now he wants to up the ante by getting them covered by PERS? I guess the sky is the limit for that non-profit

Where was he earlier this year when one of his male staff - with a criminal record - sexually assualted a mentally challenged female employee right in the building? Offering his condolences to her or making an absolute pest of himself trying to get his little buddy out of jail. Gotta love jail security systems. That's what I call lobbying. Oh, and the guy retired before being indicted. Sweet.

Yeah, he is commissioner material all right.
