Editor:
I have a few questions.
Who will be paying to defend the city against lawsuits for invading the privacy of the 72 applicants currently seeking employment for the city manager's position? Did you have to reveal to your former employer that you were contemplating employment elsewhere when you applied for this current position?
Some applicants may need to guard their private decision to apply, as it may be misconstrued as disloyalty to their current employer. The applicant may have to leave his current position due to personal circumstances, thus requiring a certain amount of tact and decorum.
Does this paper actually have the personnel available and the budget to pay for investigating 72 applicants? I should think you would be in favor of waiting for the results of the selection committee set up to do that job, limiting the amount of time and money you have to spend. I guess you would rather initiate a lawsuit and have the tax, "paper buyers" assume you are fighting our fight.
Yes, I believe in open
I have watched the Times change since you took your position. A few things have improved. I will say, though, that the complex dynamics of our community are always inflamed by controversial or insensitive reporting.
I think you should be more interested in getting your paper delivered. After a week of unsuccessful attempt(s), phone calls and e-mails to have our paper delivered, we decided to cancel our subscription and read online.
Subscriptions help to pay your salary, am I correct? Maybe you could investigate who is a reliable, loyal employee able to deliver your paper and keep subscriptions. Maybe your delivery personnel are too busy applying for other positions.
