Too bad the gun-happy constable isn’t a finalist…

This is just a kneejerk reaction, but J-town?! Really?

Laurie,
Rick Sanders resume is impressive. He was the number 2 in charge of DEA, which means he ran a 5000 person agency. A 1200 person agency would be a snap.

I can’t think of a better pick than Sanders.
He’s not the type to take crap from people like Greg Fischer. He doesn’t kiss butt. You can look at his career trajectory and see that this is a step down for him – it’s something he truly enjoys and wants to remain in his community.
His wife and family are also solid. They’re invested in this community and aren’t going to leave when he decides to retire.
I’m personally biased and hope he gets the job. Which means he’s the right person for the job, in my opinion… and with this mayor, he never picks the right person… so… guess we’ll have to settle for someone sub-par.

Good to hear about Sanders-maybe he will make it.
