[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s a hot mess. Extraordinarily disorganized. Can’t see the forest for the trees. Hasn’t hired many people who know what they are doing. Some have talent but aren’t from here and don’t know how things work.  He can’t get several key director appointments, no matter how hard he tries.  He has no ability to build consensus on issues.

He doesn’t understand broader policy. His comment that there’s no need to address employee compensation, which is 80% of the County budget, speaks volumes of his instability to understand the issue. He thinks that enough senior employees will retire and the salary reductions that result as newer, less experienced people take their place, is enough to fix the budget issue. Which is crazy.  Well, perhaps he’s just speaking to placate the unions....but I honestly don’t think he gets it.

He’s great at disrupting things. Loves his revolutions. But doesn’t understand that the role he has now is meant to make the trains run, not make them derail. [b]He is likely miserable. And would much prefer his old role of disrupter. [/b]Which, quite frankly, he was good at.   I honestly doubt he will run again. [/quote]

I disagree with much of this but agree with the bolded. He's like the dog that caught the fire engine.[/quote]
