If you don't live up to the expectations of the persons that hired you...then we will do what employers do..... Verbal warning, Written Warning, suspension, and then fired.

Then again, it almost takes an act of congress to fire a government employee from local on up....

Sigh
You hire people to lead if the job is a "leadership" position. Leaders make decisions, follow up on them and find a way to enforce them. CEO's are hired, leaders. They either lead their company to profit or loss. (simplification) but management is LEADERSHIP.

Does ANYONE on here think our commissioners have our best interest at heart? They are leading ...leading us down the wrong path.
