Do You Wonder...

...if a new town manager has already been picked to replace Interim Mike Thorne?

...if a full time contract will be offered a new candidate, despite a question pending before the court on whether former town manager S. Jackson was removed legally? Leaving Paris to face the possibility of having two full time managers? And paying severance, again?

...if wisdom would prevail, and a second interim manager to replace Thorne might be hired until legal questions were resolved, thus not further burdening the taxpayers of Paris?

...if the costly advertising for this new post, including 2 weekend editions of the Sun Journal - good options, but not inexpensive - will provide enough cover in case a prearranged candidate has been chosen?

...if, at the next selectmen's meeting Nov. 9th, after a quick executive session, (no matter whether all 5 selectmen have had previous knowledge of all, or any, candidates) there will be a vote on a new town manager?

...if any of the above would surprise anyone?
