Still No Smoke

I normally only blog about the cockroach and his hideous manure spreading mudslinger but it simply amazes me that we still don't have a new county administrator in place. I have not seen another word printed about this for weeks in the real newspapers since he was contacted by the Citizens Paper to ask if he was taking the job. Apparently he said he was thinking about it, is he still thinking? So what is up with this situation? Lets break this down and see if it makes any sense.

• August-current administrator resigns and offers to stay on board until someone new can come in.
• The cockroach posts an editorial about sending him packing after the westside wonders hold a town hall meeting and say they don't want him to stay.
• He does not stay after being smeared on the mudslinger.
• September-the search starts for a new administrator without anyone in place with the exception of an interim volunteer.
• September-the names of the applicants are released to the media and the cockroach disparages each of the candidates on the mudslinger.
• October-interviews are held but several drop off for some reason.
• October-momma cockroach states in a town hall they don't have any good candidates after they have been interviewed.
• November-more people are brought in for interview, who knows who they are since the names weren't released the second time, must have been an oversight or a secret.
• November-candidate selected after interview turns out to be one that had withdrawn after being smeared on the mudslinger.
• High fives from the westside wonders and the cockroach regarding their choice of the new administrator.
• New guy was offered $70,000 a year but only for 6 months pending the outcome of his DUI charge and no contract.
• Here is the latest on the DUI charge --> Here
• According to the White county news he was given $53,000+ as severance which was half of his salary. That would mean he was making over $100,000.
• More applause and praise devoted to momma cockroach for her extensive human resource experience on the mudslinger.
• November, second week still no administrator.
• November, third week negotiations turned over to county attorney.

December, now second week where is the new guy?

It seems to me that this entire process was screwed up by the entire council with apparently the "extensive human resource" advice from momma cockroach. So what has been happening for the past 4 months? Makes you wonder what is next from the entire crew at the county office in this employment blunder.

So ask yourself these questions:

Why would they contact someone that had removed himself? Why would they go after someone they could not afford? What if the new guy decides he doesn't want to be the new guy and to be subjected to the cockroach comments on the mudslinger? What if he does take the job, who will drive him around in the county car, since he may be reckless? Where does this leave the county after they have essentially turned their backs to all the others that have interviewed and have been disparged on the mudslinger? What is going to happen next? All very good questions to ask the council at this point.

Looks like we scooped the mudslinger on this news, but maybe he doesn't want to acknowledge these recent events because it may backfire on the westside wonders.

After 4 months it leaves us still without a leader. We still wait for the white smoke to flow from the chimney, but still no smoke.
