Laid Off

A small town Texas politician did something very unusual recently. He thought about the best interest of the city and its citizens by laying himself off from his city manager position. There are also two assistant city managers and Dan O'Leary decided it was not necessary for Keller, Texas to have three managers. He then chose his own position as the logical choice for the axe. He is now searching for a new job, Bet he gets a good reference.

Honest politician, oxymoron. Not something you see everyday, that's for sure.

You know, this may well be one of the weirdest stories we've ever had.

Here in California, it'd be the other way around. The city would decide they needed six additional assistant city managers, three more deputy assistant city managers, a new chief deputy assistant city manager, and a new building to house them all.
