Wow the Board of Supervisors consist of 5 members 2 of which were appointed not elected by the voters. That would be Rose Jacobs Gibson and Carole Groom.

What a shame to lose County manager David Boesch.

Good luck Mr. Boesch

It is to be hoped they get someone competent. It needs to be someone from outside the County. There is a need for a lot of shake up in the County, especially in Public Works

"it was clear that he and the Board had different philosophies"

He worked to balance the budget, the board didn't.

He worked on cuts, the board gave the Sheriff's a 3% raise.

David Boesch was fired.

“I’m not yet persuaded that we need to build a new jail facility either to replace the women’s facility or address some of the crowded conditions in Maguire to the order magnitude the Sheriff is recommending,” Boesch wrote in an email to The Daily News.

This is part of the reason.

He was one of the best things going for the Taxpayers of San Mateo County.

note: David was not a member of Service League of San Mateo County.

Wake up San Mateo County

The majority of the board backed an unfinished jail even without state construction funds while Boesch has long questioned just how the county will pay for the building and annual operations.

majority= Carol, Don, Adrienne, Rose

Very sad that the very person being financially responsible is the one being removed. When will accountability return to public office? Wake up people! Mr. Boesch should stay and the rest should go!

" When will accountability return to public office?"

When a lot of citizen get off their butts and start going to meetings, complaining to their elected officials and vote for individuals who are committed to fiscal responsibility.

David Boesch please rescind your forced resignation.

People come to the Nov. 15th Supervisor meeting to share your thoughts.

San Mateo County manager John Maltbie gave the BOS his letter of resignation and than changed his mind and stayed.

We the people should demand to know if ALL Supervisors wanted David Boesch fired.

Rose Gibson Jacobs is gone in 7 months.

Nobody is talking, closed door secession. No previous complaints......This STINKS

[Portion deleted.] Mr. Boesch is no longer the county manager. He was unable to work effectively with his various constituents. Residents of this county don't want essential services cut to the bone because of short-term financial problems. We have a county that makes public safety a top priority.

Go...short-term financial problems. We have a county that makes public safety a top priority.

Now a consulting company gets fired because it says bad things about the New jail we can't afford.
