Assistant to the City Manager in a smaller town is one helluva lot different than assistant city manager. In fact, being the City Manager in Edmond doesn't qualify one to head FEMA under any circumstance. Brown's appointment is indefensible, it's clearly patronage. I know everyone does it, but if FEMA is as important as we are led to believe it should be, Brown's appointment is inexcuseable. He should resign, of course.

He was in his early 20's when he held those positions. What do you expect him to start out as a governor of a state?

Please explain in detail where FEMA screwed up! Seemed to me they did everything as prescribed in their mandate. They are not first responders, primarily coordination and follow up. They couldn't override the Governor nor the Mayor, the President couldn't.

Browns biggest problems that he is a Lawyer, and by definition they are incompetent managers. I know, I recruited lots of CEO's Directors, City Managers etc. for both the public and private sectors. When Lawyers applied I threw their resumes in the round file.

He had more experience working for FEMA before he became director of the agency than any of the previous directors.He led the department during the Fla. Hurricanes.
Better check your facts before paroting the MSM line.

" ... Brown's appointment is indefensible, it's clearly patronage."

As it is apparent that you have no idea how silly and uneducated in the realities of political life you sound, I will tell you. You sound real silly with a bit of stupid ignorance tossed in.

Nothing personal no.

It wasn't his resume. It was a BIO. He probably never saw it, let alone read it.
