Now that Stacey Ybarra has gone the way of Walsh, Masonheimer, Hargrove, the dodo bird, and the golden toad, may I make a modest proposal?
I believe I made the same proposal when Mandy resigned: do nothing and don’t hire anyone.
I pointed out almost two years ago that the free market had ALREADY jumped in and picked up the slack for a good portion of her job:
DoLampasas has a website now too!
There is something there for everyone – including the kids!
Maybe the City should hold on to that $9,500 a month that Ybarra was costing them and deploy a small portion somewhere else? By NOT hiring a new EDD, you certainly won’t get any LESS tenants in the Business Pork, will you? You’ve gone 0-for-twenty-years with the last four gals in there. Hard to believe that “hire nobody” will be any worse.
Just a thought.
