Topeka Editors Commend Bonaparte

As the city is muddling through with one department head vacancy and a temporary city administrator due to depart on August 11, former City Administrator Norton Bonaparte Jr. has just left his post as city manager in Topeka, Kans.

Checking the local newspaper out there, Plaintalker came across an editorial on Bonaparte's tenure that rather accurately identified some of his key traits and suggested the legacy he is leaving for his successor. The comments are kind of mean, as anonymous comments tend to be, but the editorial itself is a good read for those of us who remember Norton Bonaparte Jr. as a city official in Plainfield.

Read the Topeka Capital-Journal editorial and see what you think.

All our best to Mr. Bonaparte in his next venture.
