The borough assembly should restart the search for a new manager. Our current one is not doing the job that he is getting paid for. Unfortunately the assembly made the decision to retain him after he was out the door. The public’s best interest is not being served.
Now the assembly is having to deal with the repercussions of being kept in the dark on legal issues and shoddy enforcement of code and ordinances. The frequent answers we hear are, “I’m working on it” and “That’s not public information.”
We elected our current Mayor on a platform of open government and transparency. Perhaps it is time to return to a strong Mayor form of government. At least then we have a locally elected official to hold accountable. The revolving door of part- time managers is not working for our community.
