Ok, just to be completely paranoid here, the job for Town Planner for Walpole (see previous post) was posted on July 25, 2006 (and expires August 25, 2006.) That was yesterday.

Pure speculation, but it is an odd coincidence that it was posted yesterday and John Moak has been meeting with candidates this week.

Just a reminder. The Newburyport City Council has to approve whatever nomination Mayor John Moak makes. And if Christopher Ryan is in fact his candidate, and does not have the skills and experience necessary, we are counting on the Newburyport City Council to step up to the plate big time. We as citizens are counting on the Newburyport City Council to vote down any candidate that would not be qualified for the Planning Director of Newburyport, Massachusetts.
