He is a nice guy but... this mainland transplant did take several jobs away from qualified local residents during his career here which is a shame.  The above statement is correct "People who know and worked with him say he is nice, smart and a fast walker".  What the article fails to note is that to those who know him well, he made no qualms about saying that he was in over his head due to lack of experience.  I do feel that he was promoted too quickly.
