Notice how they are looking for someone “even-tempered.” You think that has anything to do with balancing the rants and raves of the Mayor?

According to its website, “The Town of Gilbert is seeking an articulate public information professional; an individual adept at working in active political environments, an even-tempered and effective listener.” The supplement asks applicants to describe: “Detail your experience briefing and preparing an organizational leader for a communications event” and “Describe your experience managing a negative or crisis situation.” The first review of applications is Friday, March 28. But before you consider taking the leap, review Dan’s critique of the “active political environments” one more time.

My mayor blogs and his name is Gordon, not Berman. His PR guy, Scott Phelps, even has the major covered on YouTube while the city's PR department is nowhere to be found - probably don't know about it. They spend $$$$ on Channel 11 and haven't transferred one video to YouTube - why? http://www.mayorgordon.com/home/index.cfm By the way, Dan & Len, my mayor isn't just a "nice guy," he's the best! I will acquiesce on the RSS feeds, though. He uses Starbucks to achieve the same results. I’m confused. My mayor blogs and his name is Gordon, not Berman.

By the way, Dan & Len, my mayor isn’t just a “nice guy,” he’s the best!

And in classic Dan Wool fashion I might add. "Get out there and shake the digital hands and kiss digital babies." Kissing Digital Babies is my new favorite Web 2.0 catch phrase for politicians. By the way, Mayor Berman made his own bed and now he has to sleep in it. You give him good advice though. I think I shall pass it on to my friend on the Gilbert City Council. Welcome back Dan!
