Just Call Me Kreskin

Bill Hansell
On July 30, I told you that Lehigh County Commissioners would eventually name Bill Hansell as the interim Executive to replace Don Cunningham. Damn if that isn't exactly what happened last night.

Proof again that a broken clock is right at least twice a day.

I'd like to give myself a pat on the back, but I have a confession. This analysis was provided by a friend who'd prefer to remain anonymous

    I don't mean that in an insulting way. It's just that, every time I see him, he looks very sad. I have never interacted with him personally, and those kinds of impressions are usually false.

    Bill is a nice guy, competent, and will fill the role well.

    Bill Hansell is extremely competent. His career as Executive Director of the International City Management Association was stellar. He is a good short term fill in that will be able to hit the ground running.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
