Marc Puckett out — Again (December 28, 2010)

MARC PUCKETT BAILS OUT OF PETALUMA

Former Costa Mesa Finance Director Marc Puckett, who left his position nearly eighteen months ago under a cloud after having been put on leave for “personnel” matters, has resigned from a similar position in the Bay Area city of Petaluma.

‘FAMILY REASONS’ QUOTED

Puckett started in Petaluma as Finance Director in November and his last day will apparently be January 7th. He gave “family reasons” for his abrupt departure after such a short tenure on the job. You can read the entire story from the online edition of the Petaluma Argus-Courier HERE.

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?

Once again we are left to speculate about the circumstances of Puckett’s departure from yet another job. This, coupled with the current situation with Costa Mesa Police Chief Christopher Shawkey and his top aide, Captain Ron Smith — both of whom were recently placed on administrative leave — leaves us very curious about just what the heck is going on!

SILLY ME …

And here I foolishly thought not much would be happening during this holiday week. Silly me!
