Do the old boy's club shuffle!
Do the old boy's club shuffle!JUNE 3, 2008 Thanks to Infomonkey's blogroll, I just read an interesting post (http://hawkeyenews.blogspot.com/2008_06_..) claiming that Mayor Kelly just offered the head communications gig for HRM to recently stepped-down (fired?) radio host Rick Howe.

My first thought? Yes, trying to manage crazed radio call-in listeners would actually be great experience in trying to keep a handle on the mayor, who is nothing if not spirited when the cameras aren't rolling - usually just spirited in his complete disregard for formal communications and proper protocol in certain situations but that's a story for another day.

Honestly, I don't have much to say about Howe's potential in the Mayor's office. The fact that they are buddies suggests that he might have a stronger influence than John O'Brien who has been in the job for years now. But flip that and you can see the long-time friends keeping the old boy's club of Halifax alive and well.

What I can tell you is that I'm thrilled that John O'Brien is giving it a rest. Never one to be particularly polite, transparent or accessible in his communications strategies, I'd like to think that any fresh meat will be good for the city.
