I asked the executive assistant to Arab's mayor to send me a list of the City Council-appointed public library board members. I expected a vacancy toward the end of the year, and made my interest known to all city council members, as well as the mayor, in June. I received a reply from one of the members, letting me know that others had also shown interest.
While I find that highly unlikely, I did not question him.
When I received the list, I was shocked to find that a young man had been appointed just yesterday, to fill a seat left vacant by a resignation.
Very interesting, since this young man ran for city council in the last election and lost. This looks awfully like a concession prize.
I wrote an email to each council member, asking what their criteria for appointment was, considering there were several interested parties. I know that I was never contacted.
