I heard this rumor a few days ago, but had a hard time believing it was true.
Alas, we got confirmation yesterday when the City posted that they are looking for a new City manager on their website.
The reason? Well, that was part of the rumor as well:
It’s like Buttercup and Prince Humperdink. Or maybe Shrek or something. I guess Erin has found true love. But since “Greasy” Chris doesn’t live within the City limits, Erin would be in violation of one of the requirements of the job. So she’s giving up a cushy job with $140k salary and great benefits to live with Greasy Chris, or so the rumor goes.
My god. I’m not sure we wanted a City manager with such poor decision-making skills in the first place. Total black eye for City council with that pick. I’ll be honest, when I heard she left her last job in Brady because of a “toxic work environment” my antennae went up big time.
Greasy sure had this whole thing blow up in his face. He probably thought he had a nice connection to City contracts and instead it looks like he gets a new roommate and zero connections. LOL. I’ll be shocked if they are still an item by the end of the year. But who knows, stranger things have happened.
Note to council: maybe pick a dude this time.
