RACINE â Alderman Henry Perez took a moment during last weekâs City Council meeting to criticize the process that led to the hiring of Racineâs new city administrator, Paul Vornholt. In his criticisms, Perez strongly suggest the Vornholt benefited from personally knowing Mayor Cory Mason.
Perez, however, was the sole alderman to publicly raise concerns as the rest of the council raised no objections before Vornholtâs appointment was confirmed.
Perez repeatedly said that his problem was with the process and not with the person, as he considered Vornholt highly qualified for the position.
âIâve met with the gentleman, and I have no personal issues with him,â Perez said. âHis experience is outstanding.â
