This post was started in July
of 2013 I have been super busy so my blog has been being a bit
neglected. I am trying to catch up on all of the info & documents
that have been sent to me but please understand that some of the info is
outside my scope of ability to do anything about. Also please do not
email me from your job or use a employment related phone, even using
your private email on a work computer puts you risk

1} Gold Bar Council Member Chris Wright is a wife beater but that never made the local paper.
On
February 5, 2012, Seattle Times Reporter Emily Heffter published a
false statement that Gold Bar council member Chris Wright does not have a
criminal conviction for domestic violence. After the Gold Bar Reporters
(GBR) contacted our new found Washington State open government
supporters (thank all of you) the Seattle Times "recanted and revised"
Heffter's false statement. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/avantgo/2017434837.html
Information in this article, originally published Feb. 6, 2012 was
corrected Feb. 9, 2012. A previous version of this story incorrectly
stated that City Councilmember Christopher Wright had never been charged
with domestic violence. A more detailed review of court records shows a
domestic-violence assault conviction in 2007.
2} John Lovick our new acting County Executive asked the Feds to investigate the deaths at the Snohomish County Jail as soon as he knew he had the new position, nevermind that all of this happened under his "watch" SERIOUSLY???
The
feds couldn't investigate it themselves as soon as people started
dropping dead all over the place? What other place do you know of where
there have been that many deaths that DOJ hasn't been on them like stink
on spit? What other place has had that many deaths?
3} Plus these stories from the Freedom Foundation:
a} 2010:Debbie McPherson, a Snohomish County human resources manager settled for $600,000 after allegedly suffering sexual harassment and misconduct by male managers in the Planning Department.
Deborah McPherson, 59, said several top county officials including Deputy Executive Mark Soine, who resigned Monday, knew or should have known about misconduct by male managers in the Planning Department and failed to take action. The lawsuit also names the county official who investigated workplace complaints of harassment and discrimination, Mark Knudsen. Knudsen resigned in February days before an investigation concluded that he had prepared written reports in only about one-fourth of complaints over the past decade and in some cases completely lost records of employee complaints. Knudsen reported to Soine. The lawsuit is the latest in the fallout over complaints about the treatment of female staff members under former Planning Director Craig Ladiser. Ladiser resigned in August after an investigation concluded that he had exposed himself to a woman during a building-industry golf tournament. He faces assault charges in King County over the incident. McPherson said Tuesday she took legal action against the county only as a last resort. She said she complained to Ladiser, Knudsen and Human Resources Director Bridget Clawson, about a sexist office environment and retaliation against her for protesting women’s treatment, but that nothing was done. The lawsuit describes the Planning Department under Ladiser and his deputy Greg Morgan as a “Harley Club” where male managers routinely left work early, drank excessively, rode motorcycles together and gave each other preferential treatment in hiring and promotions. The complaint says that Morgan, who served as deputy director from 2006 to May 2009, boasted about his use of a sexual-performance drug, touched women inappropriately and forwarded e-mails with pictures of naked women from his work computer.
b} 2010: Jackie Hall and Dan Bly, Snohomish Corrections Deputies, filed a workplace complaint with Snohomish County’s Equal Employment Opportunity investigator. Each received $50,000 and resigned their jobs this summer as part of the agreement reached with the county. Mark Knudsen, the attorney who handled their EEO complaint, resigned from the county, after more than 10 years on the job.
c} 2013: Shannon Impett, a former death investigator at the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office, reached a half-million-dollar settlement over workplace retaliation.
d} 2013: Snohomish County Councilman Brian Sullivan plead guilty to a DUI in Skagit County and accepted various penalties, including jail time.
e} Such is the case in Snohomish County. A few months ago, we researched the Kay Kohler story, which we featured in this story and video.
It exposed a situation where Snohomish County offered and paid $404,000
for part of Kay Kohler’s property, changed their minds on the
valuation, and got a judgment to get most of the money back. In the end,
Kay Kohler lost most of her family property and her compensation, and
she spent far more on attorney’s fees than what she had been paid by
Snohomish County. (From the Freedom Foundation)
4} Then we have this mess to contend with...
5} At least they have settled in one of the 10+ deaths at the county jail,
seeing
as how she suffocated in her own sputum it was kind of hard for them to
claim they weren't at fault. Not only was she found dead in her cell
but her body was already stiff by the time they found her.

If all else fails & you are caught with your hand in the cookie jar
you can just file a counter~claim to take the focus off of you like
Everett City Councilman Ron Gipson did.
"The
personnel problems in the juvenile lockup came to a head on Jan. 21,
when administrators placed Gipson and Weathersby on administrative
leave." Details come from Vreeland’s letter, which describes Gipson and
Weathersby of being “publicly escorted out of the facility in front of
subordinates and co-workers.”
