With the lack of political experience in Polk City's current Mayor and Vice-Mayor/Acting City Manager, who are these city officials turning to for guidance? Is it the current City Clerk, Patricia Jackson, who has previous City Manager experience in Mulberry and Eagle Lake? Was a thorough employment background investigation done on Ms. Jackson before the previous city administration hired her?
This was pretty easy for us to find. Google found some pretty interesting reading.

From the Mulberry article..."Both criticized her for micromanaging government operations rather than letting department heads use their own judgment...poor communication and secretiveness!" This is Ms Jackson to a tee!
