Puckett's Odyssey Continues

MARC PUCKETT LANDS IN APPLE VALLEY
Thanks for the heads-up by an anonymous commenter (you will recall I DO NOT post anonymous comments - make up a name!) who provided me with this link that tells us that Costa Mesa's former Finance Director, Marc Puckett, has landed another job - this time in the high desert community of Apple Valley.


PETALUMA PIT STOP
You will recall that Puckett's odyssey recently took him to the bay area community of Petaluma, where he spent only a couple months before bailing out, apparently citing "family issues". According to a newspaper article at the time, his last day was to be January 7, 2011.

STARTED NEW JOB LAST WEEK
The article about him joining Apple Valley as its Finance Director says he started that job on January 5th. Apple Valley has a population of around 73,000 people and is presently working with a budget of $105 million.

WE WISH HIM WELL
I'm glad Puckett found a new job and hope this one works out for him. He's a very talented man, despite the circumstances surrounding his departure from Costa Mesa 18 months ago.
