So who's education are Lodi Taxpayers paying for this time?
Of course education for someones job is important. (should have been qualified before you got the job). If it is required for your job as in Re-certification of a required license, ie: EMT, CDL, CPR, etc. Taxpayers should not have a problem with paying for that re-certification.
BUT, to make the taxpayers pay to further your own education, by CEU's, is ridiculous. If it is not required for the job you hold, pay for it yourself. On your own time too!!
