Another one?
Revolving door in such a young town.
Why is that?
Because the otherone moved to her hometown to be with her family and where her husband got a job? wow that is a sign of a bad city!
And Tom Wilson? The first guy, why did he leave Carnac?
Went to cmh2hill because???
And the one after him went to Roswell for what reason? Alice something can't remember her name, then Tom came back to fill in for this new person, why doesn't Tom just stay?
What happened to our city attorney too, Mark Scott? Rumors say he was fired? Mutual quit? Why is that?
You may be confused with the parks director, Bonnaci, she
was not the community development director. She left to be with family is the story. So the door is revolving. How many city managers did we just go thru since the first guy quit, and as Lagerbloom kept filling in so much as interim manager he finally learned the job or learned the politics and has remained.
Tom Wilson was always with CH2hill and stayed with them. The other lady left for another position because Julie Bailey just wore her out. Tom came back on a temp basis til this new person came on, as he is retired now. City attourney, Mark Scott was let go from his firm but the city still has the same firm even today.Parks director did leave to raise her family, cant blame her or the city for that? Community Development person went back home to live and work in her hometown with family and where her husband has better job oportunities. First city manager left because of a mistake that staff made. Second one was and excellent manager but Julie, Alan, and Tina drove him crazy. Everyone here enjoyes working for Chris from a staff level and it seems the elected body does too?
A city employee with the facts.

How sweet...everyone here enjoyes (sic) working for Chris.
Better than working where you do, sounds like a dreadful place.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Some people are just not happy!
Does the mayor and council work for Chris?
No, he works for them.
Is 7:38AM a city employee with the facts or someone just blowing smoke?
Revolving door is right on the mark. Once the corruption is known, many choose not to be associated with this city. This involves people starting with the mayor, city manager and so on and so on. This is fact.
8:16, sure wish someone had "evidence" of this corruption you mention. Many share your same belief yet no one is willing to take the risk to speak up, are they? Why?
maybe they dont want to loose there jobs
Could be they don't want to lose their jobs
Where did Linda go? Why did she leave, ran her mouth too much to outsiders and they got rid of her for leaking secrets out to the public.
Keep quiet= job security
