Our group has challenged Councilman McAchran on many fronts and as we have always stated we will release further incriminating information when the time is right. However over the weekend I was surfing the web and vistied his blog. Not to my surprise I found the response he made to a citizen of the town which clearly demonstrates he has no clue about what is best for this town.
The following is a snippet from his response;
Concerned Citizen,
I appreciate your candor and comments. I have never supported doing a national search for a ‘professional’ town manager. I have spoken with citizens of Buckeye prior to and following the election about this fact.
I have known many town/city managers. It has been my experience that the successful managers are persons who have an institutional knowledge of the community. I believe in hiring the best department heads and growing them into management of the community.
I have seen time and time again the failure of bringing someone in from the outside for this leadership position. I would invite you to come to a Town Hall meeting to better discuss this.
The problem I see with his comments are;
1. He has never supported a National search for a Professional Town Manager. Please keep in mind this was a top priority during his Campaign. (It was also Mayor Mecks top priority as well)
2. How could he have known many town/city managers? (a)he's not that old and (b) his employment history as per his self only shows Farmington NM and Buckeye AZ.
3. My comment in # 2 applies to him seeing time and time again the failures of bringing in someone from the outside.
4. In close this comment brings to light a very intersting question. Since the towns employment board requires all applicants to have a College Degree and that our Town Manager only has a High School education. Is this a form of discrimination or is it just the Dark Side stacking the deck?
In addition to the CFABB claims that Councilman McAchran is in violatin of Conflict of Interest, based on his comments above the CFABB are now also questioning his abilities to make the proper decisions in the best interest of Buckeye.
We would invited all to comment on this post.
