Reply to comment by neilkelly in Eric Batista Hired As New Worcester City Manager by guybehindawall

I'm pretty sure at least four or five people actually cared, that's gotta count for something, even in a city of 205k people

Doesn't matter unless we convince 6 city councilors to care. We only had 5 on this one.

5? I thought the vote was 8-3?

That was the vote to hire Batista. The vote to not bother searching for anyone else was 6-5.

Was there actually a vote to not do a search because THAT'S the vote I am interested in.

From the article:

Councilors in the spring voted 10-1 to do a nationwide search for a new manager following Ed Augustus' resignation.

George Russell is the 1.

edit: Sorry, misread your question. Yes, there was a 6-5 vote on 10/26 to suspend the "search".
