Great day and bad day for City departments

The City of Kansas City announced several personnel (oops, I mean human resources) moves today. I read with mixed emotions that the Finance Department has hired Judy Hadley to its management team as the City's manager of revenue. Judy Hadley is one the good ones. I've known her for quite a while in her role as manager of the Regulated Industries Division. You might know that department better as "Liquor Control." With all the bad publicity that City Hall gets I think it's important to remember that there are some pretty darn good people there too. You may have your issues about liquor regulations in this town (as do I) but I can assure you it has nothing to do with Judy's leadership. You play the hand you were dealt, so to speak. So on the bright side we now have one of the sharpest individuals I've had the pleasure of dealing with in charge of collecting the City's taxes and enforcing the tax code. On the down side we now no longer have one the sharpest individuals I've had the pleasure of dealing with in charge of our Regulated Industries division. Good people deserve to be promoted and certainly need to be in a position where their skills can be best utilized. Judy was a great hire for our Finance department. Hopefully the opening in Regulated Industries will make way for some other talented individual to rise and begin accomplishing things. We can always hope... Congratulations Judy!
