Another tired political excuse?

The admistrator of the Golden Plough is leaving and this is what the CAO said in announcing it.
"C.A.O Bill Pyatt says Lonergan wants to spend more time with his family and is considering a return to teaching or consulting in order to achieve that goal." (report from gonorthumberland.net)
This tired and worn out political phrase is usually put out by others to describe the involuntary leaving or forced resignation of a colleague. What is it that the Director of the Golden Plough has done that deserved an quick exit and how much will it cost the County in exit packages? This man was a big honcho in Private Sector Nursing Home Management before coming here and if he didn't have a bulletproof contract I'd be very surprised. Never mind I understand that his replacement, who comes cheaper, will move into a very swanky office rehabbed at great cost amid budget cuts for the facility.

Howcum we are being stiffed by the Americans? First the application of the "buyAmerica" rules by the State administrations, the classic example of the plastic pipe in Camp Pendleton California and now the mighty mouse, I wish I was five feet tall - Gary Bettman the NHL Commissioner. Jim, I own RIM, Balsillie wants to buy the Phoenix Coyotes out of bankruptcy and move it to Southern Ontario. A simple procedure but what would be hard is owning an NHL franchise and not being allowed to play in the league. Bettman controls who plays and he doesn't like Jim the RIM, and it shows. Stay tuned.

Ben, with regard to the departure of the latest boss at the Golden Plough Lodge, you answered your own question - great cost amid budget cuts. Check out just far over budget the GPL was this last year, while staff were stretched to the breaking point.

At least the end came quickly for Windsor Willie.
