That time of year

West St. Paul city manager resigns to pursue jobs in other cities

The city of West St. Paul is once again looking for a manager. ... Since 1996, the first-ring St. Paul suburb has gone through four city managers, three of whom were either fired or forced out. City Attorney Kori Land said she received the separation agreement Thursday from Hairston's attorney, Phil Villaume, of Minneapolis. She said the departure was not a surprise. ... But the tenure was not without controversy. In November 2005, revelations surfaced that he allegedly sold securities without proper registration in Illinois. The case involved five-year-old loans for businesses that went bankrupt. Hairston had repaid the $7,000 loans earlier that year and entered into a consent order with the state of Illinois in which he did not admit the allegations.
