Other well qualified people applied for that position and were denied even an interview-now to hear it went to Paul it makes me question the validity of it all. The post was a mere formality-they even used a California HR firm to filter the applications. Paul is an intelligent person, but so are others seeking high-paying positions in this valley. It’s still the good-ole-boys network!

Hopefully the new Public Works Director will use this opportunity to get new blood into the position and start moving the environmental group to a professionally managed operation. I know there are three sycophants that are direct reports to this position that desperately want this job. None of them are capable of building effective working relationships with others and most especially with their peers. The petty backstabbing and less than honest dealings of these three certainly will provide a challenge to the new manager.

If he was a republican he would not get the job. Just that simple.

You want to know why Woods gets this job? It’s because he’s a DIRTY COMMIE!

Bieter is a DIRTY COMMIE! AND DIRTY COMMIES HIRE DIRTY COMMIES!

How do I know? Because I can read between the lines.

EDITOR NOTE– We are allowing the “name calling” on this one only because we figure it is sarcasm aimed at the GUARDIAN.

He sounds like a intelligent fellow that’s why is he seaking a goverment job. $75,000 a year? The private sector in Boise might offer him $40,000 No benifits and expect 50 hr work weeks.

I have worked with Paul Woods on a professional level and he is a great individual and professional. If he were applying for a position at my place of work, I’d try and get him on the team.

Doesn’t Team Dave have a Press Secretary who can talk all day long without saying anything meaningful? We could ask him or her.

Actually, I’d like to apply for that job, if it pays $85K and all I have to do is deny, deny, deny.

Why wasn’t a new Public Relations position created for him? Or do you have to be a former media entertainer for that type of gig?

“Nothing wrong with prognosticating that which may become reality.”–well I pondered that for a minute Dave, and I have a concern that if Paul Woods applied, and he was indeed the most qualified for the postition, that this kinda speculative rumination might cause a decision maker to cast away what would be best for Boise.
