I finally heard my first Public Works Department presentation by Rickie Roy during the latest City council audio recording. All I can say is “WOW!!”
Rickie has a voice that could make a wolverine purr. If Clint Eastwood, Matthew McConaughey, and Ronald Reagan had a love child, it would be Rickie Roy.
I have no doubt that Rickie Roy BUILT the very hospital he was born in.
I heard that one time a cobra bit Rickie Roy in the leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.
Rickie pops up at the 37:30 mark of the latest CC meeting – and you can tell that Rickie Roy and the kind of guy who gets shit DONE. Not only that, he is just proud as hell of the work he does. I listened with rapt (look it up, Monica) attention as Rickie went on for about 11 minutes about all the jobs his guys were banging out. At the end of that 11 minutes, I wanted to join the Rickie Roy team. No joke.
I have no doubt Rickie inspires his men. He doesn’t sit in his office all day. He is right out there with them wrestling live high voltage wires to a new Oil States building – NEVER allowing a power interruption for the rest of us.
Rickie Roy for City manager! Rickie Roy for Mayor. Rickie Roy FOREVER!!
I’ll end this with “Go Badgers” because THAT is the Rickie Roy way. Hell yeah.
