Conservative ‘Eat at Joe’s’ Carr Blows Thousands $$$ on County Employees’ Paid Day Off to Picnic at the Dump!

In a dazzling display of governmental genius, Mayor Joe Carr has unveiled his latest brainchild: a mid-summer picnic for county employees at none other than the Rutherford County landfill. Yes, you read that right. While other counties might choose charming parks or community centers for their employee appreciation events, Carr and his team have opted for the aromatic allure of rotting garbage and summer heat.

What better way to say “thank you for your hard work” than to invite employees to mingle with decomposing waste? As Tennessee’s fastest-growing county, it’s only appropriate that we celebrate amidst the stench of our own trash. Nothing screams progress like enjoying BBQ from Slick Pig surrounded by heaps of refuse.

Solid Waste Director Bishop Wagener and his crack team have outdone themselves. The future transfer station construction site is set to host this unforgettable soiree, complete with tents, tables, and undoubtedly, a buffet of insect repellents. The decision to feature Ben Potter and Pontiac Alley for musical entertainment is truly inspired — because who wouldn’t want their landfill experience enhanced by a live soundtrack and to help family on the side?

This taxpayer-funded shindig, could cost up to an estimated $30,000, perfectly showcases the administration’s innovative approach to employee morale. Blending waste management with a summer picnic is a stroke of genius, highlighting just how far the county will go to ensure a memorable experience. It’s a time for fellowship and reflection, as well as a pungent reminder of the challenges we face in managing our rapid growth.

Mark your calendars for Monday, July 1st, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. (Carr is closing county some county services at the busiest part of the day to accommodate his minions and punish citizens.) Don’t forget to RSVP by June 24th to guarantee your lunch — because nothing says misery like roasting at a landfill on an empty stomach.

“The dedication of Rutherford County employees is unparalleled, and what better way to show our appreciation than by immersing them in the very environment they help to manage? It’s a celebration of our triumphs, a dive into our realities, and most importantly, a test of just how much stench we can endure”, said Carr. Cheers to Mayor Carr for redefining employee appreciation in the most unforgettable way possible!
