I’d choose Leslie over any of the others because she’s scrupulously honest, already experienced in the town’s business and therefore will not require as much training as any other candidate AND she will take that job personally. She’s bright and cheerful, always optimistic, and she cares about her hometown and all the people in it. If you want someone with an eye for details who will do whatever it takes to get the job done RIGHT, she’s the ONLY candidate!

They need to hire a person qualified in Accounting, since Century can’t get their money and bills straightened out. Losing thousands of dollars within this circus is absurd.

Oh boy, here we go again. Mr. Mayor, please hush and let the council do their job. Leslie is qualified as is Mr. Kirk. He has a business degree. Sorry. You sir have a habit of wanting to hire people that fit your wants. It is time for the council to stand up to you and do their job! Step down or step aside and let them do just that.

“I made mine. Ya’ll do my job for me.”

Does he realize that he doesn’t do the hiring? He can recommend someone but ultimately the council makes the decision. This clown overestimates his importance in the grand scheme of things. The last time he hired someone..well we know how that turned out,right?

Hawkins needs to stay in his own lane and stop being such a drama queen.

MAYOR…..Anyone up for voting for a New Mayor?
Obviously this guy’s ‘experience’ has resulted in dissent and discord within the Council and City that has roots running far and wide just under the surface.

I agree with Willene. Leslie is probably better qualified for the job. I think she is an honest and hard worker. I believe she is the best qualified and will give 100% to the job.

Maybe the job won’t go belly up if the town does.

There’s nothing wrong with the mayor wanting to promote from within BUT….big BUT ….. there’s a big jump from window clerk to billing. Ms. Simmons only has been a clerk for a year therefore someone who has more experience is needed. Billing needs someone who can do more than data entry.

I understand why the council has taken on the interview process…. for one the town clerk position hasn’t been the same since the mayor’s recommendation. I have learned when hiring/firing you can’t go by your heart.

It’s a toss-up between Leslie and Mr. Kirk. Mr. Kirk has the experience more closely related to billing but we know Leslie will be able to handle the job too. $18 is not too much for the position or is a $4000 to much for training in a billing software. You want smart capable employees ….make the investment.
