mismanagement

Education does not GUARANTEE success any more than experience does, of course. It DOES provide a theoretical foundation from which to build and increase the liklihood of success. Smart managers ask those in the field for answers to fill in their gaps in their experience. Why hasnt the City Manager consulted with Skip Reed, who is a licensed contractor, on these construction projects? He knows that the usual and customary new construction costs in Dade County are $125 a square foot. Why doesnt the City Manager? Assistance in determining those appropriate costs are a phone call away. No calls on the CC project? the bathrooms? Why not? Ineptitude has lost the number? Why would he allow us to be charged $400 a square foot? $600 a square foot? To have that resource available and not use it is criminal/incredulous.

Other "managers" hide, disguise, misrepresent, and delay information that might embarass them with its ineptitude and outrageoous costs. It seems we have one of the OTHERS.
