Thank You, Tracy Delaney

Our ever affable, always helpful, endlessly patient, unfailingly knowledgeable city clerk Tracy Delaney is retiring. Her last day at City Hall is tomorrow.
   

Who will be the next city clerk has not yet been announced, but whoever it is will have a tough act to follow. 

Thank you, Tracy Delaney, for your many years of service to the City of Hudson and its residents. You are the best! May you have good health and happiness in your retirement. You will be missed by everyone who visits City Hall.

  1. There should be a statue or a portrait for Tracy in the City Hall lobby.

    And we should take Kamal's $80k salary and pay Tracy to stay on as an advisor, and distribute the rest to the other hard-working apolitical public servants in City Hall.

    p.s. We should also have made a betting pool of who Kamal would arbitrarily appoint without having a public job spec, a public process of recruiting and interviewing etc.

  6. Tracy has been someone who actually lived up to being a representative of the “friendly city”. I’m sorry we are losing her. Take care Tracy and enjoy your retirement. You deserve it.

  8. Guys - everyone in town... and miraculously everyone in these here Gossips comment section, agrees that Tracy is the best.

    Should Tracy be the next Mayor or City Manager?

    I know Tracy wants to take a break and she deserves it... and I am sure she is not available for the role but hypothetically... if she were... why can't Tracy be the City Manager?

    Shouldn't the mostly universally respected have more responsibility and authority?

    She would not live in Galvan Housing (Kamal).... she would not bring For the Many astroturfers (Claire), she would not waste precious time on non Hudson legal grandstanding (Tom) and she would treat everyone the same, and with a smile.

    She also knows who actually lives in town.
