Wkgn Main Street chief lasts two months

(quote) Maybe Ms. Miller should have made a plan to "make money". Isn't that what she was hired to do in part.

Actually, no. Fundraising is the purview of the board of directors, and the organization committee is tasked with getting memberships. These two things should make up two-thirds of the yearly operating expenses, with the city paying the last third. This is how Illinois Main Street expects each Main Street organization in Illinois to be funded.

The only way Waukegan Main Street is going to get an Executive Director to stay more than a few months is to hire one of their own, or hire someone really meek. Their haphazard way of doing things is not going to appeal to any professional people.
