NFBPA 08' cost city $ 18, 825.87

Savannah's stand-in city manager Rochelle Small-Toney is a graduate of the NFBPA Executive Leadership Institute and was elected to the national board of directors of the NFBPA in April 2010.

This is an idea of what expenses would be for NFBPA national board director activites in 2008.  The total equals $ 18, 825.87 for the year of 2008, outrageous!

Seems if they would have hired anyone but a black, they would have saved over eighteen thousand dollars that year.  In Savannah, that would have helped pay for one laid-off hourly worker's yearly salary or a month and a week's salary for Rochelle Small-Toney who makes over $15k a month. And, with the number of NBPA members working for the city well, you do the math, is it no wonder the city is broke??
