I'm waiting to form my opinion on this move. As was said, this guy has been there for 5 months only. I heard on the WDET report that Duggan already had a replacement lined up. So, if this is only about getting to appoint your own department heads, the new guy/gal better have awfully good credentials. Otherwise, change for the sake of change doesn't impress me.

In fact, it reminds me of one the early moves Archer did that began to turn my opinion against him. Archer dropped the ball on Devil's night his first year in office and the number of fires increased for the first time in several years. With great fanfare, he made some fire department lieutenant the scapegoat and fired him.

I'd also be curious to know how Orr feels about Duggan removing a guy Orr appointed.
