The Resignations Continue

Kearney Mayor Paul Tomlinson's reign of terror continues to take its toll on town staff.

First we lost Paul Schaefer, Kearney's CBO, when, shortly after becoming mayor, Tomlinson dissed Perry Township's mayor John Dunne by secretly cancelling their joint CBO agreement (Mayor Dunne had to read about the cancellation in the newspaper). Mr. Schaefer now enjoys employment in Perry and has vowed he would never work for the town of Kearney so long as Tomlinson sits on council. As no one else would do business with Tomlinson, Kearney has since had to hire Magnetawan's cast-off CBO Henry Hess at triple the cost.

Then in December 2011, Liz Stermsek, Kearney's office manager had finally had enough of Paul Tomlinson and resigned.

Now it looks like Kearney's treasurer and Economic Development Officer David Hunks has had enough of Mayor Paul Tomlinson and Councillor Louise Wadsworth's asinine budgets and has also tendered his resignation. Mr. Hunks has been offered a position in Perry Township as Chief Financial Officer.

We also lost Cole Dault, a youth intern from Kearney funded through FedNor, who will be Perry's new Economic Development Officer. Mr. Cole didn't even bother setting foot in Kearney's town office before making the wise choice of going to Perry Township.

Perry - 3
Kearney - 0

Are you surprised?
