A Strange Non-Departure

Renee Glover, the much-criticized but long-lived CEO of the Atlanta Housing Authority, was supposed to have resigned before too long, though she was ostensibly never fired. To this day, she seems to be hanging on. She presided over the demolition of every housing project in the city, a crusade for which she was despised by some.

All I can say is that rumors of Mayor Reed's staff ganging up on a city departmental executive are harmful to city government's credibility, no matter how true they are, or even how deserved it was. To the average citizen, it is made to seem like either a monarchy with excessive executive control, or a dysfunctional joke of office politics and vendettas from all directions.
