This summer, the Pinal County Board of Supervisors asked the top contenders for the county manager’s job to respond to a hypothetical scenario.
Under the scenario, the supervisors were taking heat for being unprepared for rapid population growth and the attendant problems of more vulnerable and high-risk populations, the lack of a skilled workforce and inadequate infrastructure.
Louis M. Andersen, then the county’s public works director, responded that criticism isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but “an opportunity for us to improve, grow and enhance our services.”
