People people people --- city heads are jumping ship for a REASON!!! The writing is on the wall!!!! About 15 months ago, Tom Knight said, "I expect the City of North Port to go under in about 18 months." That puts us right around April or summertime.

Ok if you really understood how a city manager system worked you would know that they see the writing on the wall. When a new city manager comes in he or she will clean house and appoint their own people.

How come it didn't happen in the City of Sarasota with the last changeover? All the city heads kept their jobs, with the exception of the chief who was fired by the former city manager after that you-know-what fiasco happened ($400 etc).

Tom Knight can't even handle the Sarasota Sheriff Department, so what makes you think he could also run NPPD???
