Superior's New Town Manager Announced

Town trustees have chosen Scott S. Randall, the former city manager of Auburn Hills, Mich., to become Superior’s next town manager. Read more here.

Randall was city manager of Auburn Hills, Mich. from December 2004 to May 2006. He has been city manager of Clayton, Mo., as well as village manager in the cities of Streamwood, Ill., and La Grange, Ill. He was a finalist for the Seabrook, TX ("home of the third largest marina in the US!") City Manager position in October of last year as well as Liberal KS' city manager position. He was also cited as recently as last week as in the running for Santa Fe's vacant city manager position. Looks like Superior has picked a guy many communities found more than capable. But how come they didn't choose him?

It reminds me of the Rodney Dangerfield skit re: shopping for tomatoes. His wife asks - "You took these tomatoes? How come nobody else took these tomatoes?" Exasperated, he replies "How could somebody else take these tomatoes if I took these tomatoes?!?"

Anyway, good luck to the newest local official. There's plenty to work on.
