Cliff is a GREAT choice and will provide solid leadership, calmness, intellect and decorum to that board.
It is a great appointment for the Manager.

I’m a bit irked, as I thought Cliff was a great fit for SC. There are some issues with the ‘physical plant’ and the Capital Plan. Cliff would have been an asset to bringing stable, affordable progress towards improvements.
Though, honestly, I’m sorta excited to see Kevin Hayhurst try to ‘goon flex’ on Cliff. I see a ‘Master Card” ad coming. Priceless!

Go get ‘em, tough guy!
Nice call, Mr. Manager.

I don’t know much about Mr. Krieger, except foe what I have read here and elsewhere. THat being said, I think he is a great choice for a Commission that definitely needs an overhaul after the fiasco with the proposed regulations. I have watched the Commission for a while and it seemed to me that they were all too willing to side with the bar owners against the downtown residents, other business owners and law enforcement. In my neighbothood, they were way too lenient with the now ,thankfully defunct, Souper Bowl. After having seen Hayhurst before the Commission for hearings about the regs and his little mess a few weeks ago, it’s time someone made it plain that his business plan needs some revision. I am looking forward to seeing Mr Krieger “in action”.
