Mayor’s Bid to Revamp Evaluation Stalls

In Port Huron, Mayor Anita Ashford’s attempt to overhaul City Manager James Freed’s evaluation process fizzled out at Monday’s city council meeting. Despite her push to modernize the decade-old review system, council members, including Jeff Pemberton, blocked the discussion, sticking to the usual June evaluation format. Freed, who supports annual reviews, insists any changes need full council approval. The debate, ongoing since April, remains unresolved, with the next review set to follow the traditional format.
