This is fricking AWFUL. He sucks donkey nuts. That's the last straw. Leaving for Ascension.

ETA: I wonder if he'll move from Denham to EBR now? Doubt that's a requirement.

Even if he was a rockstar at GP, the mess we know as Parish Govt. won't allow him to clear the backlog of insurmountable crap that needs to be done. But I hope he does well.

Guy actually sounds qualified amongst the buffoons at City Hall. That being said, you would think she would make an effort to hire at least one white person just for appearances sake.

Hiring an ops manager from the private sector is probably a good move. I hope he was an excellent ops manager and a victim of the times/market and not the reason the plant shut down.

I hope he can start getting things to run smoothly and efficiently for the sake of EBRP

You seem surprised by a hire like this. It's not like it was going to go to a qualified person.

We are surprised by this because, on paper, he seems very qualified

Officials say Hill announced his retirement in November, but stayed with Port Hudson facility through February 1. His departure was unrelated to the layoffs that were announced earlier this month

Broome hired him so it's impossible for him to be qualified....or at the very least the most qualified.

Who did he replace at that position? Or did they create a new position just for him?

frick Him.

frick the Kochs.

frick their MBM principle bullshite. If they worried about their product quality instead maintaining a cult-like culture of bootlickers, they wouldn't be closing mills and blaming markets. The Koch Cocks have no business owning paper mills. Bottomline.
