Comments on: Respected DTSC Project Manager of Rocketdyne Cleanup Replaced http://www.conejopost.com/archives/818 Conejo Valley News, Observations, History and Humor Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:14:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Christina Walsh http://www.conejopost.com/archives/818/comment-page-1#comment-2740 Christina Walsh Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:19:45 +0000 http://www.conejopost.com/?p=818#comment-2740 We are very upset by the recent decisions and believe the strong leadership in Norm Riley is essential to getting progress at the site. The last two years speak for themselves as to the progress under his leadership with his unique ability to move things forward despite our very difficult and diverse community with crossing opinions and extreme political pressure. We certainly didn't agree on everything, but we knew we could trust him, and we knew he would be fair and get this right... and that's been sorely missing for so long. With Brausch as a political appointee, it would seem that we will have yet another project head in a years time. Can we afford such turmoil at such a crucial time in the process? This is a most complex and difficult clean-up project with controversial political issues at hand. Can we afford NOT to have the best of the best? How will anyone else ever step forward to fill his shoes, when having the courage to step up to the challenge is a certain career-killer? We will be having an impromptu meeting at ACME on Tuesday night to discuss these important issues.
