What next? A fax machine?
Amid all the strange turmoil at Monroe City Hall in recent days comes the news that Ben Tallerico, the city planner, is planning to resign. This is a new wrinkle. Usually one would expect people to filter away when a new administration takes over. Tallerico was appointed when Mayor Cappuccilli was mayor before. He continued on under the term of John Iacoangeli. Now when Cappuccilli is back in offce, Tallerico decides he's going to leave. And surrounding all of this were rumors that he was going to be fired. But he apparently wasn't going to be fired. What a strange mystery. Maybe the city's finally taking the advice of one of the city's most vocal citizens and most strident critics of Tallerico. He's told both the past council and this council that Tallerico was useless and could be replaced with a fax machine.
So if you see a Staples truck pulling up to city hall, it might signal the arrival of a new planning director.

A fax machine would take the place of the entire planning department at City Hall. What do they do anyways? It seems that when we need planning done, the planning department hires a consultant. Then the planners try to figure out what the report says, and finally sit it on a shelf to gather dust. Wasn't like that when John Iacoangeli or Jim Tischler were heads of that department. Maybe the City needs to fire all of the planners and hire one single planner who actuall knows his asshole from his elbow.
