Thoughts on why turnover has been that high?

Just going to copy over this question from the HERC thread about why experts on the city staff might throw their hands up and look for work elsewhere, apropos of nothing in particular.

Or maybe the Executive has appointed his lackeys to positions they have no business running. If my boss was an imbecile and only has the job because they were appointed by their buddy I would look for a job elsewhere.

Pretty cool to see the city council deny COLA salary increases for the mayor's appointments. Some of the salaries for these appointments are comical.

A bit of speculation, but utility locates have been happening around 4301 E Lake St the last couple of weeks. It appears to be unrelated to general Lake Street goings-on, and fingers crossed it indicates progress on this mixed-use project: https://www.longfellowwhatever.com/new- ... city-site/
