Roses and thorns: 7-11-21 - The Dispatch

Roses and thorns: 7-11-21 A rose to the Columbus City Council, which chose Ward 2 councilman Joseph Mickens as the city’s new vice mayor, although we are disappointed that it required a tie-breaking vote from Mayor Keith Gaskin to do it. We believe Mickens, now in his fourth term on the council, was the obvious choice. That conclusion is not based purely on tenure, but on his record. Those who have followed council meetings for any length of time are sure to have observed Mickens’ growth as a leader. He’s proven to be an independent voice, someone who does not hesitate to challenge the mayor or other members when he feels they are in error. On many occasions, it has been Mickens who asked the tough questions and demanded accountability. His experience will no doubt be of value to the first-term mayor as well as the council, which also has two first-time members.

Gaskin to submit local businessman as interim COO

Gaskin to submit local businessman as interim COO Mark Alexander Jr. and Keith Gaskin During a Thursday interview, Columbus mayor Keith Gaskin said he plans to propose the city council hire local businessman Mark Alexander Jr. as interim chief operations officer. The hiring would be subject to a vote by council. “He’s got experience overseeing a wide range of departments, budgeting experience too,” Gaskin said of Alexander. If hired, Alexander would take the reins as COO from David Armstrong, who retired at the end of June. “I am ready and excited to serve the city for the near future,” Alexander said.
