Mullaney criticized for keeping job while running for mayor

[CS Foltz]

Springfielder I agree! Therein lies the issue that I have the head of OGC! I can not grasp how someone who is representing the City would not be biased in representing some of the other candidates or issues that the City is going to have to deal with!

All of them perform at least "quasi judicial" rolls in our fates at some time or another.  Mr. Mullaney is one of X number of attorney's within the OGC.  If staying at his job at this point was illegal, that would be one thing. It isn't, so it is certainly the same as any of the others staying on in their positions.  Therefore, to judge him on this is to do nothing but prove you are for another candidate and means little if anything else.

Again, the thing to look for is how the candidates handle themselves in their positions now, not whether they hold the position.   For instance, if something were to come up that effected one of the other candidates, then Mr. Mullaney would need to pass the torch and recluse himself.  If he didn't you would know something important about him.  In the meantime, it is simply doing the same job he has done for some time now and nothing more.
