  1. Reassign? Incompetence gets rewarded? He needs to be fired! Quit accepting incompetent employees and then moving the problem around. No wonder Augusta can’t keep up with the taxpayers money…

If we are going to pay outside consultants to come in and straighten out these messes, then fire and do not hire department managers. If we, the taxpayers, are going to have to pay outside consultants any way, then don’t hire department managers, hire consultants instead.
