Galena, Illinois Director Warren to be Offered Executive Directors Position
The City County Observer has learned that the Evansville Convention and Visitors Bureau has approved and offer of employment for the position of Executive Director replacing Marilee Fowler who was left that position over a year ago.
An offer for this position has been approved to be extended to Robert (Bob) Warren of Galena, Illinois. Mr. Warren is referenced by the Galena Chamber of Commerce as the Director of VisitGalena.org a non-profit dedicated to promoting tourism in Galena.
According to census data, Galena is the county seat of, and largest city in Jo Daviess County, Illinois, with a population of 3,429 in 2010. Galena is located in the northwest corner of the State of Illinois right on the Iowa border and only a few miles from Wisconsin. Galena was recently featured by Yahoo Travel as one of 10 “Time Warp Townsâ€, along with Paducah, Kentucky.
Time-warp towns according to Colleen Kane of CNBC are those out-of-time discoveries that make for road-trip gold: downtowns populated with of former Woolworths-turned- antiques booth malls, neon signs for Rheingold or Schaeffer, gingerbread detailing, town squares, monuments, cobblestones, and/or apple pie! The buildings where the local history was made are still standing, and if you squint it seems like you’ve gone back in time.
The salary that Mr. Warren is being offered has been reported to be in the $82,000 to $86,000 range.
Another, (unelected) bureaucrat that will be given (unelected) power to shape the city in his image with wide (unelected) latitude.
At close to a Mayoral salary?
