I warned the City Council to ignore the person Chester County sent us to look for a Coatesville City Manager.

I would much rather see Rawlings go and Karl Marking stay no matter how much it costs the city and even though there is no one ready to immediately step in as Coatesville City Manager.

I told several people that it was a HUGE MISTAKE to hire Rawlings as Coatesville City Manager. Now I believe we are stuck with the very same problems with city staff all over again.

And I really can’t stand the animosity towards our Finance Manager allegedly because she discovered that Marty Eggleston, Ed Simpson and Jarrell Brazzle have delinquent trash bills. 

I might also say that this is an extremely reserved and toned down post.

Karl, if you do go, let everyone know exactly why; don’t hold any punches. You owe the people of Coatesville.
