Sweep!

The news out of City Hall is refreshing; we're hearing that the new administration of Carlo DeMaria has taken charge and is sweeping out the "dead wood" of the Hanlon administration. Reportedly, the budget director, the city solicitor, the assistant city solicitor and the head of public works have all been asked to step down.

While we don't rejoice at anyone losing their job, it's important for the new administration to establish standards and expectations for performance, something that was sadly lacking during the past administration.
