"Laurie Kadrich, city manager for the City of Grand Junction, has a PR piece published in the Daily Sentinel. She writes:
If you include seasonal and part-time workers, the city is one of the largest employers in the Grand Valley, third only to School District 51 and St. Mary’s Hospital. We dedicate 40 percent of the annual budget, including capital spending and debt service, to personnel.
The city is the third largest employer in the entire Grand Valley.
Dr Watson, I think we have found a clue."
