Layoffs?, Pay cuts? Commisioners need to find better ways of saving! Eliminate all the take home cars that non-law enforcement drive home, if they need to come in at odd hours they can drive to their office & get their county vehicle. Their are departments that have recently promoted, created new positions, and filled others. The new adminstrator got a good contract and his replacement got another new vehicle (had gotten a new SUV just a year or so earlier). There is waste in every department, and if it's pointed out, the person exposing it is threatened with losing their job. Employees are fearful of losing their jobs but the department heads and admin positions in the departments are stocking up, shoring up and are not worried about things because they are not the ones facing layoffs or other cuts. Cut a few positions at the tops of the departments and save alot, or cut many employees that actually do the work and save not as much. Let's hope the commissioners act reasonably.

They need to be checking the job ads looking for their next place of employ. My question to everyone is why have we not demanded their resignations, of better yet recall, truly amazing stuff here folks, everyone needs to be outside the courthouse thursday morning protesting these clowns, and call for their resignations, see ya there...PEACE...

There were credible signs of a cooling economy in this county 2 years ago. And yet, shortly after (and in the absence of a serious recruiting effort) the acting county administrator gets a contract to be the permanent county administrator, all of a sudden -- gasp! clutch the pearls! -- oh, my gosh, the county commission has just discovered that the county is short of money. So sad. (sniff) So unexpected (allegedly). So interesting.
