Jerry Hill recently made a compelling argument for voting for Jim Irizzary based on his stellar qualifications. Equally important is Irizarry’s proven ability to foster good working relationships. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Dave Canepa. His splenetic personality was on full display at a Board of Supervisors meeting last year where he launched a vitriolic character assassination against a fellow supervisor over a minor policy disagreement. His churlish behavior was beyond the pale. If he is willing to lose self-control with an equal in a public forum just think what he would do to subordinates.
We cannot afford a morale problem fostered by the chief elections officer nor a mass exodus at the County Assessor’s Office and we definitely don’t need a Corpus redux. I implore voters to cast their ballot for the vastly more qualified, more accomplished, better behaved, and even-tempered Jim Irizarry. After all, we should avoid problems when we have a much better option.
Hank, Boy do you have it backwards. Jim Irizarry is facing employee lawsuits as I write this. He received a no confidence VOTE of 2-1 in the offices he oversees based on many negative reasons, specifically for WASTING over $50M from making emotional decisions. Who knows best on how the three offices should operate? The employees who DO the WORK who overwhelmingly endorse Canepa !!!
Hey guest - Irizarry wants to crack the whip on these employees who are notoriously underperforming. They fear that they may be asked to start working again. They prefer Canepa because he loves the status quo at the tax payers' detriment. Why in the world would you have employees select their managers? If Bezos had listened to his employees, Amazon would have gone under a long time ago. The labor unions are against Irizarry and that alone should qualify him.
