Worthy of Praise: New Facilities Management Director, Barry Doyle

A good appointment is a good appointment. Mayor Hanlon appointed Barry Doyle to take over for outgoing Facilities Management Director, Dick Dell Isola, and from what we hear, he's been doing an excellent job. He's a multi-talented fellow, with a background in mechanics. He's been able to fix some things around city hall and the school department that would have ordinarily had to require outside help and significant costs. We also hear that he's got quite a work ethic, going into city hall hours before anyone else and staying as late as it takes to get the job done.

Clearly, we're getting bang for our buck with this appointment. Good luck, Barry, and congratulations to the mayor for this fine appointment.
