Heineman for manager?

Thursday, March 30, 2006

The State of Nebraska Governor Salary is $85,000.00! We elected the governor!

The City of McCook City Manager's proposed salary is $88,000.00 and we didn't elect the city manager! (Yes, he has already moved in

and driving a City vehicle.  Amazing.)

You do the math.

Yeah, I know, using the rationale that we knew his qualifications and he was already familiar with McCook, (but that) just doesn't "fly."

It doesn't mean that he was the best we could do or get.

By analogy, I sure wouldn't go back to a doctor who botched the job the first time around, because I already knew his qualifications and because he was familiar with me. Come on people.

Maybe Gov. Heineman would like to come be our City Manager - he would be getting a raise.
