Is it mind boggling or just politics? I must confess that I’ don’t know. I have read about the displacement of Barbara Sottilaro from the Perth Amboy Library Board and have asked myself the question.

Why would you release a competent person from a job that she is obviously fit for to replace it with yourself? And I must say that I hold great respect for the mayor, but gee whiz competence should be the first requirement for a job and Ms. Sottilaro obviously holds the proper credentials. So it’s mind boggling to me that one such person be replaced without proper credentials. So it’s mind boggling to me that one such person be replaced without proper, reasonable explanation. Or maybe it’s just politics?
