But, with the salary they've been paying Charlie Cabler, $226,646, including car allowance, they might be able to actually get a professional city manager.
Harry Black, City Manager of Cincinnati, Ohio, a city with a metro population of 2,137,406 and 6,500 city employees receives a salary of $258, 000 per year, not that much more than Ol' Charlie received.

The big problem is that any qualified person that is not from this area, after getting here, usually does not stay or see Brownsville as a place they want to live long term, creating a revolving door. And as the City Commission changes, we also have the deterrent of City Managers finding themselves on the wrong side of a majority that wants them gone. If you look at the history of the City Managers position in Brownsville, it has never been a position that had any job security.
ReplyDeleteShit, just wing a dart at the national map and pick the city manager of the city or town the damned thing sticks to, shit.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the Planning Director imported from Georgia? He went back in less than a year because of the corruption and the fact only 2 of his staff had any actual planning experience!
ReplyDeleteAnd who do we have there now? A useless pendeja that when confronted on her lack of Planning experience, she said "I have financial planning experience". As if the word "planning" is enough to give her the warranted credentials.
