Why in God’s name the Union County Manager’s position is picked by who you are buddies with, and not selected through a rigorous interview process, so that the best, most well-qualified man or woman is selected for the job?? How much does Union County tax us?? Why is it being used to reward allies and punish foes? This is an embarrassment to democracy, and what’s left of the political press pretends it is normal.
But all we have anymore instead of a free press in New Jersey are galleries of cute dog photos on NJ.com. Fantastic.
And, according to tonight’s freeholder agenda setting meeting the process has yielded a new County Manager as of March 1, 2018……
13. Resolution appointing Ed Oatman as County Manager to serve at the pleasure of the Board and said services shall commence on March 1, 2018. (Chairman Sergio Granados)
