Sentiment for ‘strong mayor’ in Worcester
Just after press deadline, the Worcester City Council was expected to select the next city manager after a months-long process that included — according to published reports — the apparent exclusion of a qualified candidate from the group of finalists, the inclusion of two finalists who were forced out of their roles in the last municipalities they served and allegations that the council was already leaning toward the city solicitor. The selection of a city manager comes at a critical time for Worcester, especially the business community, since economic development and business growth are high priorities. So when we asked if Worcester should switch to a “strong mayor” form of government, most respondents to last week's Flash Poll said yes.
