commentary

Ask Lob about ANY of these aforementioned issues and see what he says (bathrooms, pollution, zoning, accurate property values,etc.). I have serious doubts he even knows about most of those issues. He is also NOT on record as having any position regarding the bathrooms or the CC disasters. It is very likely he doesnt even know those projects existed. He can form NO OPINION of anybody until he works with them. Lob DID say there was room for improvement in the City Manager office, but didnt mention any details about what he meant, in what areas, how much improvement is needed, how he might evaluate his performance, etc. Perhaps Billy hasnt explained the details to him yet. He admits his job takes up a lot of his time, so when is he going to find time for City business? He wants to eliminate the City Boards. He doesnt say what he means when he says who or what the RIGHT PEOPLE for the City Boards might be. That is a position VERY close to Billy again, as Billy allowed the Ecology Board seat to be vacant for over 2 1/2 years before filling it. Three years later oungs STILL hasnt filled HIS seat there, although he continues to promise. Lob believes the golf course is "going good". Does that mean he believes continuing and escalating losses are "going good?" He needs to check with Billy again, as thats not MY definition of "doing good". He seems like a decent guy personally, but not all that current or conversant with the issues that face our city.
