Alsup approval

County Administrator Leroy Alsup is getting strong support in our online poll. This is unusual, considering that online feedback often trends negative. And of course these polls are not scientific and can be skewed by campaigns to vote one way or another. But doubt this is happening in this case. I think Alsup, and the commission in general, have done a solid job in the past several years. They certainly have avoided controversy, unlike the Ark City commission.

Do you approve of the county retaining Leroy Alsup as administrator?

Yes, he's done an excellent job.
(228 Votes, 61%)
Yes, but not the way it was handled.
(20 Votes, 5%)
No, it was time for him to retire.
(117 Votes, 31%)
I have no opinion.

weird....I haven't talked to anyone who agrees the county should keep him if he is wanting to retire. I have a feeling the Traveler likes to fix the results to their belief. I have found a lot of their polls run parallel to what the editor believes.

It seems we are prone to cling to the unimaginative and the past.

Why not let him move on and give someone else a chance. Most experts say an city or county manager/administrator tenure is about 7yrs on average. By then either they outgrow the job or the job outgrows them.

It appears that neither are growing in this instance.

Your poll is useless. My Mom and I both tried to vote. We both would have voted that Leroy needed to go but when we submitted our votes, it stated that we had already voted. We had not. No wonder Alsup is ahead in your poll.
