Kudos to the Daily News for effective use of the Web site in breaking the news about Mayor Moak's seeking a job in Winthrop. (Hell of a commute...man.)
Haven't seen a potential game-changer like this since Lisa Mead took the job with John Kerry back in 1997.
And yes, Gillian Swart beat me to the punch. She's got all the links. Serves me right for working right upon until 5 p.m....or 4:40ish pm on a Friday.
BTW, if you're looking for any indignation, I'm all out. The guy has got a chance to double his salary (and pension) he might as well give it a shot. Still, I have a hunch some people will be upset.
Shocker.

Does this make one think how much we'll have to pay a City Manager, should we change the Charter in that direction? Of course, we should be paying the mayor a lot more.
This has more political intrigue than an episode of "Parks & Recreation."
Nice lead in, Dick. I'm posting on the Charter Review Question this week.
Talk about a real game changer. If he gets the job and leaves, the mayor's race will be wide open. If he stays, he will probably get creamed in the election, given the valid questions about whether he would finish a new term. (Hey, it could be worse: it could be a four year term!)
Moak says he applied on the advice of two colleagues who told him about the job? Isn't this the same story Kevin Lyons used? Looks like Moak could always apply to be superintendent somewhere if Winthrop doesn't work out.
