The two out of area are more qualified and the city can reduce the good ole boy network.
Specify how they are more qualified. Credentials are not qualifications.
Just who is this "good ole boy network?" Sounds like code for anyone who's been around more than a few months. Conspiracy theories are not a sound scheme for running a community.
credential
noun
1 : something that gives a title to credit or confidence; also : qualification 3a
2 plural : testimonials or certified documents showing that a person is entitled to credit or has a right to exercise official power
3 : certificate, diploma
First use: 1655
A qualification for a job is an ability or skill. A credential is a piece of paper. One shouldn't parrot dictionary entries when one does not comprehend them.
Again, substantiate how they are more qualified, i.e. suited for and able to competently perform the job, based on proven abilities and disposition.
Also substantiate this "good ole boy network" as something more than an ephemeral catchphrase tossed around by conspiracy theorists.
Oh, wait, I get it - it was the GOB that was on the grassy knoll in Dallas, right?
sore loser (plural sore losers)
(informal) One who doesn't take defeat well, especially one who complains or contests it.

LOL
So, then, it's your assertion that these 5 individuals are the cabal that actually runs the city with an inescapable grip of control to the detriment of all good people within a 20 mile radius? Great, but it's still just a list of names - a naked assertion at best.
Since you have a fetish for dictionary entries, try this one:
sub·stan·ti·ate
[suhb-stan-shee-eyt]
verb (used with object), sub·stan·ti·at·ed, sub·stan·ti·at·ing.
1. to establish by proof or competent evidence:
Perkahontas, What have these guys done to deserve that label? or are you just being Perkahontas?
Still waiting for the list of attributes (not pieces of paper) that makes them more qualified. A high school diploma is a credential, but there are thousands holding it who can't read or write.
Agree... why is this turning into something so difficult? Make a decision for Gods sake!!!
Not sure about the guy who is campus security. How does that figure in with being a Police Chief? I see Orzech received his degree in December. We kind of waited for him to catch up in the education category. It has been a whole year since the committee started the hunt for a new Police Chief. Let us hope that the City Manager does not drag her feet and she is not too late with the selection. The two outsiders might have other jobs by now.
Officer Orzech is a great guy but I believe Sandusky needs to break up the long established GOB network to move forward.
More conspiracy theories. Does the GOB use black helicopters, too?
What's even better is Orzech is Nixon's brother-in-law. Ain't it great? Now he can run even more rogue than before!
End the GOB Network!
Orzech is a great Officer -Sandusky- pick who you know and have.
I agree, NOT ! Continue down the same path that was and still is a Police Department of dysfunction !
Agree.
This is what you've narrowed your search down to? I'd hate to see the qualifications of the ones that were passed over.
Johnny O for sure. Get this done already.
Johnny Joke !
Get anyone and get Lang outta there.

My favorite part is that a town with 5 streets and only 800 people needed 14 cops???? Lmfao, that's probably why they reneged on his pay raise!
Someone should forward this article to the people of Castalia.
@25yr.resident Wow, that explains SO much!
I would like to know how much this fiasco cost?
