Interesting 2000----didn't know about the resume thing.
I thought that it must have been all Husemann, though your story makes sense and fits the local pattern.

What is most interesting to note is that Ms. Gilleland buzzes that Mr. sl*gle is her "counselor" - this is "buzz" that I personally heard from the horses mouth (yes, the sl*gle who is near and dear to the good old boy policies).

Another interesting tidbit is that there was work behind the scenes during the city manager "hunt" to permit only those with less than exceptional resumes into the process (with exception to Gilleland) - Gilleland's "resume" was a complete color brochure with fascinating Middletown statistics that appeared to make her look like the best candidate. Everyone was impressed that a "stranger" would put together such a warm and fuzzy fact book on Middletown. She must be one of us!!

With the news that that Gilleland was groomed before even appearing before the haphazard citizens group that advocated her, it appears her knock-out resume was groomed for her as well....
 
True?  Middletown may never know....
 
Judy? Lonely at the top, SJ? I think she relishes the role and isn't lonely at all with all the back-slapping and "atta-boys...er...atta girls" from her peeps.

Well Crap you two busted everyones Dream.Sleepy  Spider your give him another chance ain't gonna work. 
 
"Removal of Mr.Kohler would indicate a lot of mis-management, in-effective planning and failure of the Admin closed door policy. Also would result in a total inventory/audit to see the ugly truth as to where we really stand and the $$ has gone."
 
So lets just carry on as the city has for the last 20-30 years, Hey that makes a whole hell of a lot of sense in my book.Angry

I agree with makeadifference.
Removal of Mr.Kohler would indicate a lot of mis-management, in-effective planning and failure of the Admin closed door policy. Also would result in a total inventory/audit to see the ugly truth as to where we really stand and the $$ has gone.
 
Mr.Kohler needs to be given an opportunity to function with a new small business-friendly, citizen friendly direction given by Council and Admin(and in great documented detail). He is a very talented individual who simply isn't being utilized to the benefit of the entire community.
 
There really aren't that many significant names left to scapegoat.
My wild guess would be that the city manager would be the next to leave.
She has tremendous potential, however she has abandoned her earlier wide open listening  for change approach in favor of a closed door good old boy policy, much to the detriment of everyone. Must be lonely at the top these days.
