Sounds like the public in general should be relieved that this online forum occasionally compensates for Atherton's dufus management style --Sure--you have to pick through the postings with an editor's eye--but it would be hard for anyone to miss the fact that just last month, our crazy council gave Mr. Gruber a big fat raise for mishandling yet another issue---maybe he really is doing exactly what the council wants.......

Atherton has a Town Manager form of Government. In other words, Gruber should be held to answer for all of this. The council should let him go and find a better candidate.
