Author    Post   Ryan Eashoo F L I N T O I D Buchanan offered Flint city administrator's job Posted by Holly Klaft | The Flint Journal November 29, 2007 20:06PM Categories: Breaking News, Flint FLINT -- City Councilman Darryl Buchanan has been offered the position of city adminstrator by Mayor Don Williamson, according to news release. It's unclear whether Buchanan has accepted the job. The offer comes after current Administrator Peggy R. Cook, who has held the post since 2004, has spent the last six months on sick leave for an undisclosed illness. _________________ Flint Michigan Resident, Tax Payer, Flint Nutt - Local REALTOR - Activist. www.FlintTown.com Thu Nov 29, 2007 8:36 pm  last time here Guest actually, thats probably an intelligent decision. he's trusted...it makes sense. congrats darryl. i hope ms.cook is o.k. whoaaaaa........that means another council person. brilliant move!!!!! the stalemate is almost over...brilliant!!!!! ryan, your really plugged in dude!! _________________ Guest post Thu Nov 29, 2007 10:26 pm  00SL2 F L I N T O I D quote: last time here schreef: whoaaaaa........that means another council person. brilliant move!!!!! the stalemate is almost over...brilliant!!!!! Darryl E. Buchanan's term as First Ward Councilman doesn't expire until November 2009. If he decides to accept the offer to serve as City Administrator, that leaves one less voice of support on the Council for the mayor. Where is Buchanan needed most ? In case of vacancy on the council, the City Council must within 30 days appoint a person having the same qualifications for the office to fill the remainder of his term and schedule a special election as soon as possible. The person appointed by the City Council shall serve until the special election is held and a candidate certified as elected.

Fri Nov 30, 2007 8:55 am  Josh Freeman F L I N T O I D Darryl will be the most qualified appointee on staff. The guy is smart.

And that shows how irrelevant the Mayor considers CC to be in accomplishing his agenda. Could the city go four years without a Council approved budget? Looks like it could. Would the city be better off in four years if that happens? Probably.

Fri Nov 30, 2007 10:28 am  last time here Guest politics makes strange bedfellows!!!! good point about council. they would appoint someone anti-don. i gotta believe somethings up. da mayor is too smart to make that appointment and to not have thought of an option... walling to the north side?? riiiight!! _________________ Guest post Fri Nov 30, 2007 11:22 am  necroped F L I N T O I D quote: Josh Freeman schreef: Darryl will be the most qualified appointee on staff. The guy is smart. I agree. That would also put Buchanan in good position to run for Mayor in 2011 when Williamson will probably have had enough. Or how about this scenario: Walling and Company engineer a successful recall of Williamson in 2008, Williamson helps Buchanan get elected as Mayor, and Buchanan appoints Williamson acting city administrator? _________________ What if the Hokey Pokey is really what it's all about?

Fri Nov 30, 2007 3:27 pm  jackofhearts1 F L I N T O I D Has anyone ever re-checked his... Buchanan's record recently? If may make for an interesting read.
