Guess who’s back?
Yep, Mills, a reminder of a very dark time in Manatee County history. That Mills. Only he’s not back to retire and play golf. Apparently, he is in the running to become the new interim county administrator, replacing Cheri Coryea, who was tossed out of her position in the same manner Mills was once removed from his.
Mills was brought to Manatee County in 2013, essentially to rescue the school district financially, and that is what he did. Shortfalls became surpluses, and a district so poorly run that it was nearly taken over by the state was sustainable again. No one can argue those successes.
