In some ways, Thornell’s resignation makes a bad day. It signals that the plan in place wasn’t working.
In some ways, it brings a sense of optimism. A change in leadership (at GSDP, at MSU, at the two local school systems) may signal a new dynamic in city and county leadership. With a new Board of Supes and changes in municipal elected officials due in the next year or so, have we reached a tipping point of sorts?
David Thornell was always cordial and polite and seemed to be a nice guy. Best of luck to him.
It’s always difficult to see an employment separation in such a public manner. But at the end of the process, I believe Starkville and Oktibbeha County will be poised for it’s best days yet.
Update: Dispatch story on resignation.
