ack in 2013, when it was announced that City Clerk David Olson – already known as the hardest working guy in City Hall – had been nominated to also serve as election commissioner, skeptics wondered how Olson would be able to keep up with the added workload.
But three years and multiple elections later – plus last year’s Charter Commission contest – observers agree that Olson has handled the added duties flawlessly. So this week, Dori Zaleznik, Mayor Warren’s Chief Administrative Officer announced that Olson will take on some added roles by filling the following open positions:
- Traffic engineer
- Director of Human Resources.
- Crossing guard at Mason-Rice
- Special Heavy Motor Equipment Operator
“With this move, we’ve filled four openings in one afternoon,” Zaleznik wrote in a memo to the City Council (which, of course she asked Olsen to distribute). “I hope this finally put to rest the silly notion that we’re having trouble filling positions in the city.”
I am especially looking forward to the crossing guard position at Mason-Rice. It will get me out of City Hall for a couple of hours a day for some fresh air.

David,
Will you please start hiring some department heads?

The Mass Gen recently announced the opening of the Hindu Surgical Center devoted to adding arms to overworked public servants. While this surgery is now covered under the Newton Municipal Healthcare Plan, the cost of new multiple arm-opening suit jackets is not. To offer David support in his new positions, we ask all of David’s friends and co-workers to send $50 to the “Arm David Olson Fund.”

Please send David $10. to make him a better person.
I suspect he may no longer have time to spend money.
