About this title

Synopsis

"... a great story and you have told it well. Every time I had to set it aside I could hardly wait until I could pick it up again... It's about good government and where in the structure of local government professionalism should take over from pure politics.... I enjoyed the read..." Roy Pederson, past President, International City/County Management Association (ICMA)"I enjoyed the story very much... Congratulations... You have made a really fine contribution to the literature of the profession..." William Hansell, former Executive Director, International City/County Management Association (ICMA)"...offers the reader both a good yarn and an insider's look at local government. The book is a great tutorial on the everyday heroism as well as the mechanics of managing on the frontlines of democracy - America's cities and towns." John DeStefano, Jr., former Mayor, City of New Haven, Connecticut; past President, National League of Cities (NLC)"It's a very good story ... a little adventure, a little detective story, your personal involvement, and a good lesson in teamwork, consensus building, etc." Dr. Robert Painter, former City Councilman, City of Hartford, Connecticut"I found that it gripped me as a professional and it was an altogether good read. I can easily see it as a movie. "David Krings, past President, International City/County Management Association (ICMA)
