Administrator Robson Reports for Duty

Beacon finally has its new administrator. Meredith Robson doesn't live in town and has no history here, which feels sort of ominous to me though maybe it shouldn't. Her predecessor Joe Braun was a divisive personality who got things done but made enemies and alienated citizens along the way. People seem to feel Braun was the real mayor of Beacon during much of the Clara-Lou Gould era.

Braun's ouster and Robson's hire were direct results of Steve Gold's decisive mayoral victory. During his campaign Gold was pretty clear that Braun's removal would be the first order of business for his administration. Braun saved him the trouble and quit.
