One last dictator in the many banana republics of Montgomery County- at least for a minute. Sources tell me that Huber Heights City Manager Rob Schommer resigned last night after an ultimatum from council to resign or be fired. The resignation triggered a clause inthe city manager contract which was left over from the previous city managers deal, that supplies Schommer with a $150K severance payday. Most of the people of Huber Heights have to work pretty damn hard to earn $150K- and none of them get a lump sum check like that when they are told they are no longer needed at their jobs. Ive filed a Public Records request with the city to find out the details. One thing Huber Heights deserves props for is their PRR portal- where documents will be made available to EVERYONE. Unfortunately, thats not been enough to stop insider deals and shenanigans by council, the city manager and developers in the past. From their agenda from last night, you cant tell that anything happened. I dont have time to review the video yet. http://huberheightsoh.new.swagit.com/videos/114142#21146283 That any public official gets a $150K buyout to go away is a criminal misuse of tax dollars. But of course, politicians dont think like the rest of us or act like us. Ill be updating this post as more info develops. The Dayton Daily newsless has this: Huber Heights city manager Robert Schommer resigned Monday night, citing a new opportunity, according to Mayor Jeff Gore. Assistant city manager Scott Falkowski will serve as the acting city manager. Gore said Schommer offered his resignation to city council Monday night, citing new opportunities that have opened to him personally. High placed sources tell Esrati.com that they never heard anything about other opportunities- it was resign and take a buyout or be fired. Well continue to update. Without giving 30 days notice, this wasnt a resignation as called for in Sec 2 B: B. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent, limit or otherwise interfere with t
