Gotta be honest here: I don’t know City Manager Terrence Moore. I’ve never met him. I wouldn’t know if we walked past each other on the street. All I do know about the guy is that I’ve never heard a bad word about him. This may be a function of my limited social circles; perhaps I’m not hanging out with the right people.

So imagine my surprise when, so soon after being hired, I heard that various city officials were planning to get rid of Moore and begin again a search for a City Manager. Moore has, according to the sort of small town rumor and innuendo that dominate political life here, run afoul of these city officials in some way and has lost their support. They want to cut anchor and move on. It does seem early in the man’s tenure for something so drastic but perhaps he has screwed up that badly.

I’m not here to say whether this is or isn’t correct, not because I am incapable of having a position on this issue, but simply because I don’t know. Do you? What are the allegations against him and who is doing the accusing? I would love to know, if only so I can better understand the aforementioned rumor and innuendo.

If you do know anything about this (good or bad), please get in touch, either in the comments below or at our email address: thecityofmorgantown@gmail.com Thanks in advance.
