Port Townsend city manager is doing a great job | Letter to the editor

Posted

Last week The Leader ran an article on the Port Townsend city manager’s performance feedback from the city council.

My negative bits of feedback were spliced together and may have read like a strong rebuke of the job he’s doing. I’m sure my wording gave the impression that I don’t support Mr. Mauro in his role. Quite to the contrary.

We may not always see eye-to-eye, and I take seriously my role in representing the people to the city government, not the other way around. But, I believe Mr. Mauro is doing a great job for us on the whole. He is constantly hustling and applying his many talents to the role, and I believe he really cares about this little town we call home. 

I support him and will continue to offer my feedback when I feel it’s warranted. But I’ll make sure to be more constructive next time.
