City unable to fill Controller position to date

Unemployment has risen dramatically this year. A lot of people are unemployed and looking for work. I would think it would be relatively easy to find a new Controller for the City of Fort Wayne; however, that has not proven to be the case.
Per the City website the position has been posted since 9/16/08; in other words, the City of Fort Wayne has been seeking a new controller for well over three months to date.
Per Thursdays News Sentinel Pat Roller, the current City Controller, has agreed to stay as City Controller until the end of January rather than the end of December as previously announced.
I am really surprised that the City of Fort Wayne has not had several qualified applicants apply for this position. I imagine the position will pay close to $100,000 per year in salary and it certainly provides great benefits.
Why do you think the City has not been able to find a replacement City Controller?

Be careful of what you wish for.
Who would want the Controller Job in the City of Fort Wayne, IN? Regardless of the salary, I would not wish this chaos on my brother or sister.
Maybe it hasn’t been a priority to fill it.
Maybe no one wants to be the scapegoat for an administration that doesn’t want any input from the governed to get in the way of their method of governing???
From what I understand, many individuals whom might be qualified to be Controller will not apply for the job for fear of the vetting process. What lies might the print media report about a person, and truths come out in forums like this?
Question… who would replace the Mayor if the office of Controller is vacant?
