"It's unusual for a 50-year-old that helps the county care for children and seniors to admit it's struggling to pay its bills." 

Is that reality or your opinion, Nigel? You don't back that up with any source or quote. The reality is that most nonprofits "struggle" financially, and most all would be happy to explain that to you. It's a challenging business model. The other reality is that Jeff is solving Impact's financial challenges to the extent that it enters this fiscal year on July 1 in a stable situation. 

Another thing. Much as the County's Dave Austin admits, the County commissioners are interested in Impact's clients, not its personnel. So who's eyebrows are being raised here, Nigel? You don't quote anyone. The reality is that Jeff is a great choice to run Impact because he knows the business and is highly effective. Have any of Impact's staff or clients raised their eyebrows? Oh wait, you didn't talk to them either.
