"An outside firm will be hired to expedite the process of selecting a
new city manager [said Councilor] David P. Maher" (a loyal member of
the Spending Other People's Money Society), who clearly believes he is
not capable of "appointing" a city manger as authorized by Mass
General Laws Chapter 43, Section 103. Crimson says, "The process of
selecting a new city manager is a task that none of the current city
councillors have taken on before." Not having experience with a task
was no reason to avoid electing a President. So what is the problem
with the Council selecting a Manager? "'The most important thing is to
have a good process.' [Mayor Henrietta] Davis said." Is that more
important than finding a manager with skills and allegiance to the rule
of law? Really? "Maher said that it actually seems unlikely that the
city will complete the selection process by [. . .] June 30, 2013."
Eleven months is not enough time? Hello? What is Maher thinking? Is it
that hard to find a manager who will go along to get along with
Harvard and five councilors?
