Mayor Gimenez Taps Jack Osterholt as Operations Chief. By Geniusofdespair

Jack Osterholt was the Executive Director of the South Florida Regional Planning Council. That is something I think is important. He is a planner. If we need anything around here in Miami-Dade County it is someone with a background in planning. He has a master's degree in City planning from Georgia Institute of Technology.

He was also Broward County Manager. To me that is secondary but I am sure that is what got him the job offer. The only picture I could find of him was this one with him standing next to stupid lobbyist Ron Book. Book is the short one.

Here is a bad thing Osterholt has done:

He worked for White Rock Quarries. He was a Consultant on the land development and redevelopment potential of company lands in Miami-Dade County.

(I hate anything to do with rock mining)

Here is a good thing Osterholt has done:

Worked for the Vizcayans as a consultant on the development and redevelopment of properties adjacent to Vizcaya to negate and minimize impacts on Vizcaya.

On another note, Look for the Mayor's budget today after 6 pm.
