MikeK: We Want Tom Taggart

MikeK: The last county administrator, Tom Taggart, played a large part in making the county government well-functioning and responsive. People like Tom don’t come around every day (or often, he’s among the best I’ve ever known) but professionals with creativity and diplomacy do exist and can help. Things haven’t worked as well in his absence over the last years. I really hope the county goes to a paid administrator sooner than later. Not sure that Taggart would be interested in a sequel but I’d ask him first if I were the commissioners …

Tom Taggart: As to my future, it would not include any position at the County, EVER.

Question: Is there a person who now lives in Kootenai County that you’d consider great material to become a county administrator, if Jai Nelson and Dan Green follow through with their intentions to hire one?
