Over at the WEDC, the deputy secretary of that troubled agency has resigned:
[Ryan] Murray’s departure comes three months after he was criticized in a resignation letter written by Lee Swindall, WEDC’s vice president of business and industry development, that was made public in September. Saying that Murray confused “rigid control with stability and sound management,” Swindall criticized Murray’s management methods.“I believe Ryan Murray, lacking either the talent or experience to function as the Chief Operations Officer of the WEDC, is causing deep and lasting harm through the application of control-style management rather than consultative management,” Swindall’s August 25 resignation letter said….
Via Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. deputy secretary resigns @ JSOnline.
Swindall later decided against resigning; it’s possible he understood Murray’s departure would be a post-election certainty.
It’s better, of course, for the WEDC to shed untalented, unqualified executives than to retain them.
It will be better for Wisconsin, however, when there is no economy-manipulating WEDC at all. The sooner it goes away the better; one day, it will go away.
One day, but never a day too soon.
