The Star's editorial board is opining on Tuesday's meeting of the Joint Powers Authority, and what we hope will be an advanced discussion about the hiring process for a CEO:
The CEO search will likely come up today (Tuesday) when the JPA meets. When it does, we expect members will move forward in searching for a new executive who brings robust vision and a can-do spirit to the redevelopment of McClellan, and one who will continue the former fort on its steady climb to success.
We're also lamenting about the Iraq war and its mounting U.S. military death toll:
This coming week brings Veterans Day, the hallowed day when we honor those who have served in the military. It also brings Monday’s headline: That 2007 likely will be the deadliest year thus far for America’s military in the Iraq war.
