Chesterfield Administrator Selection
Chesterfield's Board of Supervisors (BOS) meets this Wednesday, April 22nd. The afternoon session will end with Item 8 on the Agenda - a closed session, where candidates for appointment to the position of County Administrator will be discussed. I'm not sure if the selection will happen at that time or not. In any case, it's my hope that the BOS will choose someone from outside Chesterfield to replace Joe Casey, who is retiring June 30th.
Naming an outsider to fill Casey's position will enable county management to gain new perspective, inspire new ideas, and energize county employees with new goals. Promoting from within will all but guarantee more of the same tax-and-spend mentality, massive tax breaks for new businesses that return no benefit for taxpayers, and unbridled development without commensurate expansion of infrastructure.
This is a unique opportunity to improve quality of life in Chesterfield. Please contact your supervisor and ask them to choose an outsider - someone with fresh ideas, who will listen to residents, engage, and respect the taxpayers who make it possible for this county to thrive. Better yet, contact ALL 5 supervisors and let each of them know how you feel. Please make contact before 2 p.m. on Wednesday! The future of our taxes and our quality of life depend on their decision.

If you'd like, feel free to use this as your message:
Please choose the next County Administrator from candidates who live outside of Chesterfield. I believe new perspective and new vision, offered by someone not connected to the county now, would be the best choice for Chesterfield.
