An Enema or An Anathema?

Sorry for the absence my little droogies and fellow Naybobs... during the interim, seems the City Manager had a revelation and decided to git along.

A public council vote of no confidence and termination would not have helped his future in public service.

Seems the new mayor and council are sending out a clear message...

That being, those who are suspect of obfuscation, omission or any commission of disinformation to the council, are going to be, shall we say, summarily dismissed.

Rumor has it that certain financial services, parks & rec and public works directors, might already have their e-tickets punched.

The acting CM & economic development director, ne assistant CM has some be-heady tasks ahead of him. (No pun intended)

That is if he wants to keep the CM post permanently.

The Nattering One muses...

If the acting CM can't "Schwing" this sinking ship around, then... this town needs an outsider coming from a corporate or private sector background.

A CEO turnaround specialist, NOT a hack, who burns, slashes and runs.

The slash and burn mentality of angry stock holders allowed ex GM CEO Rick Wagoner to destroy the number one automobile manufacturer in the world.

Wagoner, the anathema, should be the poster boy for what the Cape doesn't need. In short, what this town needs is an enema, not an anathema.

Emphasis should be on some in house cleansing to promote the CREATION of NEW business and GROWTH of revenue sources...

NOT on the further slashing of rank and file benefits, pounding out union concessions...

or the wholesale reshuffling and DECONSTRUCTION of the organization... which is all that has happened in the last year or so...

much to the detriment of employee morale, public service levels, and the local economy.

Not a tight fisted machine gun hand, but a kinder, gentler, helping, healing hand, is much needed.

Where does one find such an individual? More to come...
