WHAT AN UNMITIGATED LOAD OF GARBAGE.
I am talking about this post http://theinsideclamdigger.blogspot.com/2007/09/czech-acker-deal-is-sign-of-times-with.html on Jim Purcell's Blog Inside Clam Digger.
He claims that Middletown has decided to hire County Chief Finance Officer Mark Acker as Township Administrator. He also claims the Middletown administrator is going to Freehold. First he claims the Freeholders did not do a thorough job searching. I see no back up for that statement. He also claims Middletown did not do a search. To that I say so what! In private industry if you know of a star candidate is available for an opening you have, then you do not waste time and money doing a search. You hire the guy. Aren't we always saying we want government to run more like a business ( well at least us conservative republicans say that).
Mark Acker is the consummate professional. If Middletown can nab him good for them.
Make the search more transparent he says. Obviously he knows little about employment law and privacy concerns. On a practical note if you made the process transparent you would automatically rule out anyone who does not want their current employer to know they are shopping for a job. Confidentiality is paramount in a job search.
Elected officials have a job to do until the election. That includes filling administrative vacancies. The idea that these professionals are going to secretly sabotage the agenda of the newly elected Democrats is ridiculous. They are going to do what there bosses tell them to do. Just like Democrat Bob Collins did for the many many years he was the County Administrator under a Republican Administration.
Both these men are fully qualified for these jobs.
Sorry Mr. Purcell but you are so off base here you are out near Jupiter. This is just bashing Republicans for the sake of bashing.
Coming soon. The Bull Moose SLAMS Rastaman!

Mr. Roosevelt.
I wholly disagree with most of your points.
Respectfully, in my opinion, it is wrong; just wrong, and nothing but wrong.
I must disagree heartily with Purcell's sentiments, above. I almost wrote a similar piece myself, after reading his assasination of both men and the Boards that may or may not hire them.
Confidentiality is the way it works. When someone wants to interview for a job, they may not get it. Therefore, they keep their interest confidential. Not so hard to understand. There is a limited pool of qualified candidates for these positions, and it is a relatively small county. If word gets out that someone is shopping, it could negatively affect their career, family, etc.
To cry foul simply indicates a lack of understanding of the process.
