Perez, however, was the sole alderman to publicly raise concerns as the rest of the council raised no objections before Vornholt’s 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. “I’ve met with the gentleman, and I have no personal issues with him,” Perez said. “His experience is outstanding.”
