Wow! Seems the ghost of June Fleming has resurrected. Guess Palo Alto can't learn from its mistakes.

@Once-Is-Not-Enough - I don't understand your comment. Ms. Ziesenhenne was hired quite a few years after June Fleming had left. I have had interactions with Ms. Ziesenhenne and know her to be very intelligent. She is a great choice for the position.

@Resident -- If you say so. Hasn't exactly been my experience.

What has been my experience is more in line with the current op-ed from Councilwoman Cormack wrote yesterday. Ms. Cormack's op-ed reports that Ms. le Conge Ziesenhenne, upon the reopening of Mitchell Park Library, told her: "You know, when you die they will name this after you."

Good to know what it takes to get ahead in our City Hall these days. That said, Ms. LCZ probably wouldn't have done that if she knew her full-barreled sycophancy and hyperbole was going to be made public.
