Some comments on my last posting have advanced the theory that Ms Cullen was doing the Council a big favor by assuming the position of Interim Manager. Phil Nelson sent an email to all employees on the morning of Saturday February 11th. Just over 28 hours later, after conversing with the Mayor, Ms Cullen sent an email to all employees. You be the judge.

Yes, as deputy city manager she became interim city manager after Phil was forced out. As such she communicated this to city staff in a businesslike and professional way - so what? What exactly is your point? Why do you always manage to find something sinister in the most mundane events? Good grief - get a hobby or something.
