Editors' Corner

According to an anonymous poster at Foothill Cities, it's Elaine Aguilar, *assistant to the Glendale city manager (and formerly assistant city manager at La Puente).
The poster also takes a dig at reporter Molly Okeon for saying former Bradbury city manager Katie Wilson was on the short list. It's a cheap shot, considering that if the poster knows their stuff, they know Wilson was one of the finalists.
I'll add that if cities weren't so afraid of criticism, they would announce who the top executive candidate is before they vote on hiring the candidate. If a candidate, any candidate, is the best one, why hide it? Show some spine and let residents (you know, the ones who voted for you) to tell you what they think, and then do what's best for the city. That's why you were elected.
UPDATE: A Glendale councilman confirmed that Elaine Aguilar is in negotiation with Sierra Madre. We'll have a short story in the paper Tuesday.
