Who is Linda Wells?

PTC Guy's picture

What was her role in the Sheriff fiasco?

Well, she did says this about the issue.

Quote
I don’t know who told him there have been no improprieties noted in the county audits, but the sheriff’s accounting procedures are regularly noted as a matter of concern. With such knowledge should one “assume the sheriff’s procedures are reasonably adequate” or should one ensure that they are more than adequate?

I’m not a CPA but as the guardian of your tax dollars, I would prefer to deal with real data not assumptions.

Did she, or did she not, take part in the 3-way parade over to Tyrone, without informing the other two members?

Legal, probably. Ethical. No.

It took 3 votes to put Dunn as Chair and her as Vice. Who were the 3?

It took 3 to enable all Dunn did that got him kicked out of office. Who were they?

What makes her so different from Dunn and Peter that says she should stay?

Who is Linda Wells?

Some good points made below. As well as the questions, elsewhere, to her roll in the undercover cop's blown cover.

So far I see nothing said that gives any reason to vote for her.

Well to start with she's a complete {{{{edit!!}}}}}} who treats people like {{{{{{edit!!}}}}} and thinks her {{{{{edit!!}}}}} and she{{{{{edit!!}}}}} who would sell her soul to {{{{{{edit!!!}}}} and if Peter didn't have his {{{{{{edit!!}}} then {{{{{{edit!}}}}.

And anyway I don't like her, but I'm not bitter about it.

Just kiddin...seriously.

I hope you had to explain your ((((edits)))) to a 9 year old. I Did not know this was an adult site.

Time to add the website to the parental lock category.

I don't think Jack would appreciate your "type" as one of his supporters.

Thanks Cal for allowing that one.

I know it's hard to have a sense of humor when you're in a fog but I didn't type the words I did the editing myself. A nine year old wouldn't know what I meant. It was intended for the people who understood it.

Understanding you might not have grasped my point I will further explain. Your husband's friend Linda has driven people who have to deal with her, to their boiling point.

Talk about driving people away - the 4 or 5 of you guys are killing Jack's chances. Good luck on the campaign - let see who you support in November

No. Keeping the issues in the eyes of voters and showing them why they should think helps Jack.

You with your Dunn is gone, move on, is an attempted declaraton Dunn and Wells were not partners in the actions that got Dunn booted.

I asked honest questions in starting this blog. You launched into the anti-woman garbage to divert from those questions.

How about answering my opening questions? Oh, you cannot do so without showing Wells' roll in all those things? Hmmmmm.

You see, my questions are one the money in a number, but anot all, issues against Wells.

You, in fact, are trying to run away from those issues and gloss them over.

Might have worked in the old days. But with a Forum, they can be kept alive and before a good sized segment of the voters.

So, how about less rhetoric and answers to the questions, please?

Hey - I did not see you jump on Harvey for not sticking to the blog and answering your questions - "Who is Linda Wells? Let's see, what will Cal let me say?"

Let's not play favorites here - just because he is one of the intimidators and anti wells campaigners.

The only means I have to answer your opening questions is with the information and comments you guys post? I see nothing wrong with her comments that you have highlighted - but then again I'm in a fog.

Harvey gave a bunch of negatives, which explains why he will not vote for her. Which, indeed, does not answer my questions point by point.

But YOU are supporting Wells. I want to know why YOU are.

So far all you have said is she is the best because she is a woman.

You see nothing wrong with her lies about the audit? When there is absolutely nothing in them against the Sheriff?

If she cannot read an audit better than that she needs to be out of office for that reason alone. It makes her incapable of interpreting facts.

Please answer the questions. Show us why she was not in agreement with and an enabler of the issues listed.

That is part of her record to judge her by. She enabled, backed and was a partner in the issues that got Dunn tossed. She should go as well.

I understand "They are relevant. It goes to the heart of how she functioned as a commissioner"

Please ?

OK PTC Guy - her we go

Take a chill pill - you get to crazy - I had to do some homework - some of these questions were difficult.

I'll try to keep in mind she has been a commissioner for 8 years or was that 12 years ?

To the best of my knowledge - I have no doubt whatsoever that you will correct my test. Does the bell curve come into play?

Q 1. Did she, or did she not, take part in the 3-way parade over to Tyrone, without informing the other two members?

A 1. According to what I have read in the paper and from your notes - she was present - not sure of what she was wearing but I hope she was color coordinated - Where was the parade? I missed that one.

Q 2. Legal, probably. Ethical. No.

A 2 Was this a multiple choice ? I'll guess legal

Q 3. It took 3 votes to put Dunn as Chair and her as Vice. Who were the 3?

A 3. Help ? Can you vote for yourself? I'll guess Frady, Peter and the other guy? If you can vote for yourself I guess Dunn and Wells.

Q 4. It took 3 to enable all Dunn did that got him kicked out of office. Who were they?

A 4. PTC-GUY - Southside - Harvey - or maybe mudcat and lifeinptc? I know I mess this one up.

Q 5 What makes her so different from Dunn and Peter that says she should stay?

A 5 I won't go there ? let's try - compassion , caring , articulate, smells better, dresses better, very frugal with my tax dollars.

Extra credit

I don't think any of them have had the sheriff over for Christmas or a barbeque lately, maybe earlier in her career - not sure ? seems to be a little tension right now ? They'll be working on the little glitches and maybe they'll be exchanging gifts by Christmas ?

I don't go crazy. I just don't like dodging on important issues.

I'll try to keep in mind she has been a commissioner for 8 years or was that 12 years ?

And Clinton was president for 8 long, miserable years.

To the best of my knowledge - I have no doubt whatsoever that you will correct my test. Does the bell curve come into play?

Just and issue of why one is voting. Do they actually understand.

Q 1. Did she, or did she not, take part in the 3-way parade over to Tyrone, without informing the other two members?

A 1. According to what I have read in the paper and from your notes - she was present - not sure of what she was wearing but I hope she was color coordinated - Where was the parade? I missed that one.

Parade. Figurative term for one putting themselves on public display.

So, she paraded there in joing campaign with Dunn. Backed by Peter.

Remember, they had just had met, rewrote the budget to cover the check.

Self explanantory that after 4 years and seeing the way the election was going that this was a political grandstanding move to get votes.

If not, why 4 years to do it? And why a last minute budget vote to finance it?

Q 2. Legal, probably. Ethical. No.

A 2 Was this a multiple choice ? I'll guess legal

No. Added because I was asked this in another topic where some called it illegal.

Believe it or not, I try to be fair. And would not call this illegal, as some felt it was.

But it was most assuredly political grandstanding and something that, if warranted done, should have been a long done fact.

Q 3. It took 3 votes to put Dunn as Chair and her as Vice. Who were the 3?

A 3. Help ? Can you vote for yourself? I'll guess Frady, Peter and the other guy? If you can vote for yourself I guess Dunn and Wells.

Yes. One can vote for themselves. Dunn, Wells and Peter. Frady wanted the chair.

Q 4. It took 3 to enable all Dunn did that got him kicked out of office. Who were they?

A 4. PTC-GUY - Southside - Harvey - or maybe mudcat and lifeinptc? I know I mess this one up.

A hint. Why were Dunn, Wells and Peter called the Trio?

Q 5 What makes her so different from Dunn and Peter that says she should stay?

A 5 I won't go there ? let's try - compassion , caring , articulate, smells better, dresses better, very frugal with my tax dollars.

But in voting you have to go there. The reasons Dunn is gone are the same reasons she must go.

Lying about the Sheriff and frivolous lawsuits to seize power alone are enough to kick her out. Hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted. Wasted when the audit said no issues found. Wasted to the point the judge gave a lecture on the lawsuit being out of bounds.

It could have never happened without her.

Extra credit

I don't think any of them have had the sheriff over for Christmas or a barbeque lately, maybe earlier in her career - not sure ? seems to be a little tension right now ? They'll be working on the little glitches and maybe they'll be exchanging gifts by Christmas ?

Way too late.

She has an advesarial relationship with the other two commissioners. Not saying it is always a bad thing, but one what created it, here, it is a bad thing.

Her relationship with the Sheriff's Dept is damaged goods.

Her waste of tax money makes her damaged goods.

Her lying and attitide makes her damaged goods.

Did you know when Dunn and her were elected, they actually had the nerve to ask the Commissioners to stop working and let all set until the got seated?

Times have changed. Things cannot be hidden any longer, as they use to be. And it is obvious their sense of power has grown over the years. Grown way too much.

None of those reasons have anything to do with her being female.

Just as it will have nothing to do with it when Peter comes up for election, next time.

Really. I do not vote emotions. But I do take strong stances on my decisions.

People who know me know I am very cold, methodical and deliberate on analysing thing. But after, let the gusto roll!!!!

Really. I don't want to fight with you. But I like facts, not feelings, when deciding things. Except where people can get hurt by being too cold about. Then I am a big softy.

I thought for sure I would get one right? Oh Wells - I think I was setup to fail - been there before ?

My date for the prom was my last setup - never showed up - all dressed ready to go and my date no showed. Was not dressed in drag (at least not that night)

It's no big deal - counseling and acupuncture treatments have been extremely helpful, my doctor feels I should be able to go out in public within the next 6 years.

"Really. I don't want to fight with you. But I like facts, not feelings, when deciding things. Except where people can get hurt by being too cold about. Then I am a big softy."

pretty classy - shows compassion

someday can you give me the directions how to bold the text? when I copy and paste the bold text go back to normal font on this site?

Knowledge and wisdom are two different things. One can be learned, the other has to be developed.

OK. Bold.

Look below the posting box. You see some bracketed words. That are html codes.

Find the one that says strong.

Cope it, including the brackets. Paste it on each end of what you want to be bold.

Then, on the last one, you MUST add a / in between the bracket and the s. Without the / begins the code and with ends the code. Else the bold just keeps going.

/strong

Brackets are invisible in a post. They are recognized as html code. That is why I didn't just put one in instead of calling it a bracket.

Shhhhhhh! Casey. Remember what the objective is here. Dump Linda because she is a woman.

Harvey.....Don't hold back buddy. Tell us how you REALLY feel about her.


Submitted by 30YearResident on Fri, 07/21/2006 - 9:55am.

You are supporting Linda because she's a woman, not because she's the best person (note I said PERSON) for the job.... .is that about it?

She can be a participating Lieutenant in the Dunn gestapo, but she was "only following orders", therefore, because she's a woman, she should be absolved for any compliance and should be reelected.

So, we should vote for people because of their gender, religion or ethnicity rather than their ability to do the job in the best interest of the citizens....

Shouldn't you be voting in that other primary for the politically correct?

Linda has become aloof, snobby, looks down on anyone that disagrees with her and unwilling to bend.

Not janet or linda or hubby or any of those - told you before I voted for Eric and I'm glad he in. Oh by the way PTC-GUY no sour grapes at all.

I'm supporting Linda because she's the best candidate - and best fit for the future commission and will keep the interest of the county taxpayers on radar (all the time).

Hey - I thought one of you boys that were up close and personal with Eric were going to get his input on who would be a good fit for him to work with going forward in January ?

We already know where the 5 or so of you guys sit - like to see what Eric's vision is for the future commissioner ?

Hey Harvey - you seem close to Eric - get us a feel?

Why would we go to Eric and allow him to choose "his" pick for commissioner. That's the voter's job. Do you realize how ignorant that sounded? I guess that's your version of how commissioners are to be picked. You've illustrated an accurate portrayal of how Dunn and Wells operated and that's a huge reason as to why they are being booted out. Frankly, I do not care who Eric's pick is. I and for the most part most of the voters are going to vote for the candidate WE believe to be the best choice in this race.

I didn't vote for Eric and I didn't vote for Greg. But rest assured I will be voting for JACK SMITH. Look...Linda sunk her own ship with her being so vindictive and displaying so much malious and deceit toward the sheriffs department and so many of the citizens of Fayette County.

Gee Casey .....If you're not Janet or Linda then you have got to be Peter dressed in drag. No one else could possibly buy into the babble you blather. Plus you sound just like him.

VOTE JACK SMITH

He raised some good questions yesterday. His questions went unanswered.

Also, I'm agreeing with the others. You have all of the signs of being Janet. Some may think you may just be someone else in your camp but I spot signs of you. Some of your post are well articulated and some are sloppy. Janet fades in and out that way.

You posted that you voted for Eric. That is one of those "throw us off comments" inconsistent with what your demeanor has been. You keep attempting to draw people into comments about the November election. You seem to be trying to draw Maxwell into a debate now on this forum. This is not about him it's about Linda verses Jack.

All classic signs of Janet.

Just a declaration Linda is the best candidate does not answer my questions opening this topic.

You have already made it clear you are support her because she is a woman.

Funny. You told us to move on, concerning the election, because Dunn was out. Now you talk about getting info on how Maxwell will do things.

How about we finish the election first?

Please answer my questions I opened this topic with. You are dancing and dodging all over the place, to get off those issues.

They are relevant. It goes to the heart of how she functioned as a commissioner.

Please answser the questions.
