Maybe I run for mayor to put some order in the tax increased problem that Wausau faces. No more taxes! The city needs a sense of business and not always everything has to be political.
Brian- I hope you do a public records request so to find out if there was some HR issues between the new director and transit worker Megan Newman as well as any email correspondence with the mayor, James Henderson HR Director, Becky McElhaney and the new Transit Director. I had heard rumored that Becky McElhaney had asked for the Transit Director to stay until March 2024. Here is a Transit video from October 2023 that I reviewed that seemed show a cold working relationship between Megan and her new boss. I was informed a number of times over the years that Megan was promised by Director Greg Seubert that Megan would become the new Transit Director when he retired. IMHO, Greg had no authority to make that promise to Megan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9DOaVyRxt4&list=PLTKmYFdlHPXdz5ERlhK5-MAViNA-VHiKB&index=2 I have open records request with the city of Wausau but I have not yet gotten any response as of yesterday.
I was on the Transit Commission for 2 years as a former alder of the City of Wausau in District #11. I supported an early announcement for city of Wausau directors retirement plans so that hopefully a new director can be found after a nationwide search and still allow a month of more of training. FYI....Becky McElhaney is President of the Wausau City Council as well as Chair of the Wausau Transit Commission and Chair of Human Recources Committee so WHY was this young professional that had 3 jobs in three years considered a replacement for city of Wausau Transit Director for 40 years? I really question whether the HR Committe is capable of finding sound final candidates. I also question the consultant hired that thought Daniel was the best nationwide candidate. IMHO, a minimum requirement would have been an assistant director for 3-5 years manager work experience in a municipality that relies mainly on buses (compared to rail or subway).
