So what was the rush in bouncing Wollangk?

The Northwestern is reporting today that Mayor Frank Tower now wants to cancel the search for an interim city manager.

What was the Council thinking when it rushed to have City Manager Richard Wollangk pushed out of office? Did it really think it would be that easy to replace him?

Or did it think that the city had cash rattling around in its bank account that couldn't be used for any better purpose than a fat severance package?
