Thoughts on Bloomberg's Appoint of Ms Black as Chancellor

Once again the Mayor has appointed someone not in the field, with limited expertise. Examples being Nicholas Scoppetta, JD for the previous Fire Commissioner, Judge Joe Bruno for the current Office of Emergency Management Commissioner, and now Ms Black as School Superintendent following Chancellor Kline. Is his underlying message to those in these fields by appointing someone with no educational foundation in these professions and someone who has never been a practitioner in these areas that they are "competent" to be their commissioner or chancellor. But anyone trained in this profession and who has worked in this profession is not competent? That anyone can do their job, like "Brownie" could do as FEMA director.

At least he appointed a new Fire Commissioner, Salvatore J. Cassano, who has both the training and life experience. Why could he not have demonstrated the same standard for the new Chancellor?
