CEO of Public Lighting Authority is Out

Odis Jones, the CEO of the Detroit Public Lighting Authority, is no longer with the agency.

Apparently, the back story is that he and Duggan got into a huge fight over something, and they couldn't come to an agreement.

I know the primary [[and probably only) complaint a ton of folks have had about the PLA is that they've been taken away poles on residential streets and leaving them too dark [[despite the fact that they're not reducing lights, and even adding more lights, on main thoroughfares).

Jones was very stubborn when it came to addressing this legitimate concern.

I wonder if that had anything to do with their disagreement?

Duggan was probably using nasty four letter words like "WORK".

It astounds me that someone can be hired 2 years ago in what was a bankrupt city and merit a $20,000 bonus a few months ago.

How does that happen?

Someone else came up with an interesting thought.

He may be Darnell Earley's replacement for DPS.

I won't be able to stop laughing if that happens.

This sounds like all you have to do is take a sharp pencil along with a city map and say "we can put one here, and here, and here, and.."
I want this job. I'm currently unemployed. I have no experience in running a public infrastructure agency. I know how to say "I'm sorry" and "that's a great question". I like bonuses. Who do I get hold of to make my pitch?
