That is total BS. Those waitresses can take tips and they deserve them. The kids who are counelors get tips f rom parents as well. I think it is unethical if you DON'T tip. And what about the little Christmas presents people give to the teachers at the Center? Are you taking those back? You're thinking on this issue is a little screwed up.

if the ethics board attorney cannot read the simple rotterdam code and understand it
one has to start with a binary process, the number one, as in a penny or zero, nothing
based on the opnions here on rotterdamny.info the ethics board should be very busy
tip jar - dead to rights as it is CASH - and i believe the "jar" says donations - implying a gift to the town/senior center
if the employees need donagtions they should wear the correct sign and carry a cup - like those who claim to be homeless and unemployed in states like Florida
"on the public dole - i need a raise and more hours"
btw non cash gifts - under $75 no big deal
post the ethical issues and lets see if any stick

Tippy, enough about the stupid senior gossip center tip jar!! There are hundreds of thousands of als dollars missing! Direct your energy there. If you can't, then petition to close the senior center and save the taxpayers $$$$$.
What about fdg's salary, that he never took, that he 'gave' to the gossip center kitchen, that he never paid taxes on, that he takes the hero credit for? OPEN YOUR EYES TIPSTER!

Have you directed your efforts towards the missing ALS money? Have you gone to TB meetings demanding to know where the money is? Employees need to follow the rules, that is why they were put in place. Yes, I know the police get discounted food, etc...blah, blah. If you don't like it then say something, out in public, not here hidden behind a fake name and do not tell me to do the same, I HAVE!
