Chaos At The Public Safety Academy

Posted by Jeff Pruitt - 5/7/08 @ 10:14 am - Filed Under Local Politics

Brent Johnson was overqualified to run our regional public safety academy so it was quite a hire by former mayor Graham Richard. Now, less than 6 months into mayor Henry’s term he’s manage to piss off Johnson so bad he’s decided to quit. Two board members have also quit and Senator Wyss is threatening to pull the public funding. This is on the brink of becoming a major disaster and it will fall right into the mayor’s lap.

The fire and police chiefs will assume the role temporary co-directors but they can’t possibly perform their normal duties and this one. And don’t think it might be a little harder to hire another good candidate considering the mayor ran the last guy off?

    Chaos??

    a bit strong don’t you think?

    Maybe, but what else do you call having the director and half the board quit?

    I think chaos is that topped by the Henry adminstration’s lack of public information in spite of three staffers, and being called out by Wyss and other concerned citizens.

    What else could you call it?
