Critical Eye Quizzes City Administrator

Critical Eye called up Cascade City Administrator Tim Long this morning and asked him, "If we impeached the mayor, would you stay?"
He fell out laughing in a way that let me know I had hit a nail bang on.
Actually, my purpose was to thank him for the thoughtful way he did his job here. It takes a while to know how honest an administrator is, and I was beginning to decide I liked Mr. Long a lot.
I explained that by the time we got the measure of our last administrator, he had done immeasurable damage, and his "mistakes" were nothing but lies that benefited the powers that be. When Randy Lansing left left, I wrote a letter to the editor of the paper where he was going and told them what they were getting in terms of what he left us with.
Which I told Mr. Long, who chuckled and replied, "Well, the next administrator is going to have to deal with that." Which tells me a whole lot more even than my original question.

A Critical Eye Q asks lots of questions.
