<\/a>From the San Diego Union-Tribune<\/i> today<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Mikel Haas, a 13-year county employee who oversaw a slew of elections in two stints as registrar of voters, has been promoted to one of the top executive positions in county government.<\/p>\n

Haas, 49, will replace Alex Martinez, who retired March 16, as deputy chief administrative officer of the Community Services Group. In the post, Haas will oversee several departments, including the registrar, housing, animal services and general services.<\/p>\n

Chief Administrative Officer Walt Ekard made the decision Thursday after considering several in-house candidates. He called Haas “a top-notch executive”\u009d with stellar management experience.
\n…
\nHaas earned $145,288 annually as registrar. His new salary has yet to be determined, county spokesman Mike Workman said.<\/p><\/div>\n

In the North County Times’<\/i> report<\/a> on same, which focused on the difficulty the county may have in finding a replacement for Haas, and bothered, (unlike the as-ever rightwing U-T’s<\/i> coverage above) to note just some of the fire that Haas has been under for his horrible performance as head of elections in SD, added:<\/p>\n

County Chief Administrative Officer Walt Ekard…issued a statement through Workman praising Haas, who had been something of a “troubleshooter” for the county during his 13 years.<\/div>\n

A “troubleshooter” indeed, for the hard rightwing San Diego County administrators.<\/p>\n

A quick review of a just a few BRAD BLOG items concerning Haas<\/a> will inform the initiated about one of America’s worst, most dangerous, partisan Elections Administrators and the disaster that Diebold’s man in San Diego has been for the voters of San Diego as he’s overseen\/mis-managed such elections as the Busby\/Bilbray race and many more.<\/p>\n

His failures have led both Democrats and<\/i> Republicans to call for his resignation<\/a>. Little wonder then, here in Bush’s World, that he’s now been rewarded for his bad work. Can the Medal of Freedom be far behind?<\/p>\n
