    Baker Tilly has been bad -- again.

    Recently, yours truly dropped a bombshell about Baker Tilly when he appeared as a guest on the Making Sense with Michael J. talk show in Amarillo, Texas.

    Host Michael Stevens graciously allowed me to replay the interview on the podcast.

    Since the interview aired on May 20th, sources have been feeding me additional information about Baker Tilly and its recruitments. Stay tuned for more coverage in the near future -- especially after I get my public information requests.

    If you have any information worth sharing -- please get in touch with me so I can expose them.

  • Private vs. Public Sector Executive Compensation with Daniel Reilly | Ep. 53
    May 22 2024

    Public sector executives need to steal some pages out of the private sector executive playbook when it comes to compensation, benefits, and negotiating contracts.

    Attorney Daniel Reilly has extensive experience in negotiating private and public sector executive contracts. Licensed to practice law in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, we discuss industry norms, tactics, and practices that should be co-opted by city and county managers to secure stronger contracts that will protect them and their families.

    This is a "must listen" interview with many gems of wisdom and golden nuggets for executives and aspiring executives to ponder and consider.

    Moreover, public sector recruiters and local elected officials should also pay attention as I once again highlight the on-going paradigm shift in public administration.

    No other local government podcast provides this type of valuable and thought provoking content. If you enjoyed it -- please take a moment to hit the "follow/subscribe" button and also leave a rating and review on Apple and Spotify.

  • ICMA's Rigged Executive Board Elections with Graham Mitchell | Ep. 52
    May 15 2024

    Unhappy with the current direction of the International City/County Management Association, El Cajon City Manager Graham Mitchell decided to get involved and run for a seat on the executive board.

    In previous years when he only saw one name on the ballot for each seat -- he assumed it was due to apathy.

    Little did he know that the ICMA establishment created a process whereby they hand-selected the nominee who was all but guaranteed to win because voters would not have another name on the ballot to vote for.

    In this episode, we discuss his experience running for the board and his efforts to change the way ICMA conducts elections in the future.
