Oakland Township loses another Township Manager - What or who is 'root cause' for turnover?

It was reported in the August 5, 2015 Oakland Press that Warren Brown, the recently hired Oakland Township manager has resigned after 6 months, creating the third vacancy at the position in less than two years.

In the article, Supervisor Gonser states that “(Brown’s resignation) makes the township look terrible and highlights the fact the Board of Trustees is incapable of making a good hire,” Gonser said. “I seriously doubt any quality candidate would apply for this vacancy.”

Supervisor Gonser appears to be blaming the Board for the turnover, and has repeatedly tried to change the structure of Oakland Township by making himself a full time elected official. The Township has never had the issues it is now dealing with. It had previously run smoothly under its current form of governance for years, making it the wonderful place it is. So what really has changed?
