Although her new role as the head of the county’s Youth and Family Services Division is a social services position, Multnomah County Commissioner Lori Stegmann has no professional background in social services (Multnomah County commissioner beat out more experienced candidates to land division director job, Dec. 10). Despite the fact that this division employs more than 100 people, she has never managed a sizable workforce. Furthermore, she has never been entirely in charge of a budget that is even close to eight figures.
Could you please explain how Stegmann was hired? Because she stated in her accomplishments that she supported a cease-fire in Gaza? People’s low assessment of our government leaders’ capacity to accomplish tasks is understandable.
