Professional vs Politician

For John, BLUF:  George, good move, but no kill.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

This morning, on City Life, Host George Anthes asked City Manager Kevin Murphy if he was endorsing anyone for the 18th Middlesex Representative Race for the General Court, his old seat.

The City Manager said, no, he is a professional, not a politician.

This is a great transition, and an important one.  He is no longer a politician, although he must understand politics.  Rather, he is a professional city manager.

George tried again by asking if he isn't endorsing for the General Election or for the Primary.

City Manager Murphy came back with the line "I am a professional, not a politician.

Good on him.
