County administration hush money hypocrisy
An alert reader clued us in to the latest I-Team 10 investigation, which aired last Thursday. Apparently, Brooks and co. decided to hush a Monroe County Sheriff for his whistle blowing of a wide array of disturbing, and often sexual, harassment at the department.
Of course, the hush deal, which cost almost $500,000, was approved by the county leg in executive sessions and everyone involved was forced to sign a confidentiality agreement.
This beautifully illustrates how much the county GOP really cares about these issues and it proves that they are only using the library “porn scandal” as a political tool.
The D&C reported on it here. Petrena covers it on her Greece blog as well. A commenter there brings up a good point:
Why do we have to file a FOIL to see what the County leg does in Executive session? Doesn’t seem like Open government to me.
This seems indicative of a greater problem.
And as our reader suggests:
I think it’s time somebody gave the county administration, and anyone else who needs it, a swift kick in the behind to bring them back to reality.
I agree– the kick is going to be called “Election 2007″.
