noholdsbarred - > No holds barred -> Mr. Tandy speaks
Mr. Tandy speaks

I just got off the phone with City Manager Alan Tandy who let me know in no uncertain terms that he has the utmost respect for former Assistant Public Works Director Jacques LaRochelle. LaRochelle was honored at Wednesday night's council meeting after nearly 20 years service to the city. He's leaving to work in Napa.

Tandy was furious with my previous post where I alluded that LaRochelle, who was instrumental in getting the Thomas roads money and was then tranfserred to the Water Resources Department, may not have been held in high esteem by Tandy.

"I worked with Jacques LaRochelle, I like Jacque LaRochelle, I promoted Jacques LaRochelle," Tandy said. "I was trying to make him head of Water Resources!"


He said he didn't praise LaRochelle at the meeting Wednesday night because there were so many other people waiting to speak on the Westpark alignment issue before the council.

Tandy says I got the situation 180 degrees wrong.

I'm very sorry if I misread the situation and I sincerely apologize.

The sincerity of his response and $2 will buy you a bad cup of coffee.

Mr. Tandy does all the right things to stay in power but that is not necessarily the same as all the right things for the community. Just like the Roman Emperors of old he brings in entertainment and distractions for the masses downtown. Meanwhile he let the very important issue of building traffic improvements before development fester until it was too late to be reasonably addressed.

As a person affected by the traffic in the south hinterlands I wish Tandy was the one leaving.
