Breaking News / By the Way / Politics A Paul Ney Return to Nashville?
Posted by Liz Garrigan on Wed, Dec 5, 2007 at 10:00 AM
It looks like Paul Ney, a former law partner at Trauger & Tuke (once Trauger Ney & Tuke) and GOP operative who's been toiling in Washington, D.C., as a general counsel at the federal Defense Department, may be returning to Nashville to head the Mayor's Office of Economic & Community Development, the job Tom Jurkovich recently left.
A recent call into Ney (a former running buddy of mine, I should note) has so far gone unanswered—federal appointees have shit to do, after all—but reliable sources tell the Scene that the deal is being formally discussed.
Ney would be a natural for this gig, as it's mostly about relationships, which he has in spades. Paul, call me back or I'll post a compromising picture of you with sweaty pits and wearing running tights.
UPDATE: I couldn't help myself. The photo above is Ney after a 1998 training run in Dublin, Ireland, where he completed a marathon in 4 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, just making his under-5-hour goal.

WTF? I didn't vote for a "Democractic" mayor to have GOP DoD hacks put in charge of Community Development. Say hello to more strip malls!
Bah.
