P3: "Supervisors appoint Ayers as new county administrator"

Congrats to a distant cousin in moving up the career ladder.

Anyone remember that a few days ago the Supervisors surprised everyone with this agenda item, bypassing normal hiring procedures and public comment? I'll give you that all that formality doesn't necessarily suit our small-town image, but I'd also like some assurance that the Supervisors take seriously their legal obligation to open government. Our county board has a long, deep culture of acting more like medieval doges than elected representatives, and this move is straight down that alley. How about a followup, Paula?

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
