The county wants the public to know that it has a procedure for resolving questions about public records requests without expensive litigation.”<br /><br />Sure Randy. Except your "procedure" doesn't trump state law. Eventually Gaylord will get the message - SJC isn't his personal fiefdom & no, really, he does need to follow the law. The Gaylord involvement here was solely to pull Jarman's and Thomas's dicks out of a wringer. He should have left them to hang.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025252027978265531.post-69150991980137962292015-10-26T17:52:24.143-07:002015-10-26T17:52:24.143-07:00Article here: http://sanjuanislander.com/news-arti...Article here: http://sanjuanislander.com/news-articles/government-news/san-juan-county/20337/lawsuit-filed-against-county-prosecutor-over-opma , unfortunately without a link to the legal documents. Reading through the article, it's interesting to see how many SJC dicks may be caught in the wringer: Jarman (yup), Gaylord (hell yes), Hughes (probably), Thomas (absolutely), Gibboney (well.... I'll leave the checking to someone else to see if there's a dick to be caught in the wringer, but you get my drift), JT (probably not - someone will have to be left out of the proceedings so the kids don't end up in foster care). <br /><br />Reading the tea leaves, Gibboney will be the first one for Power to try and flip - she's the locus of all the connecting lines. Then there's the thing about her being a staggeringly incompetent employee, yet she received a "promotion", presumably with a raise, to a job with essentially no responsibility. There's a reason she wasn't canned & Occam's Razor says she wasn't fired because Randy, Bob and Mike need her. For now. Hopefully she's sentient enough to realize that as soon as she's given testimony under oath, everything will be blamed on her and she'll be flushed like the used condom that she is.Nihilist #1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025252027978265531.post-38423933808055379082015-10-21T16:18:09.281-07:002015-10-21T16:18:09.281-07:00The rumor is that Hughes auditioned for the part o...The rumor is that Hughes auditioned for the part of the Most Interesting Man In The World in a Dos Equis commercial, the stumbling block was that it turns out he is physically unable to say the words, "I don't always drink beer....."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025252027978265531.post-83564901775095893082015-10-21T06:06:31.407-07:002015-10-21T06:06:31.407-07:0012 weeks is ridiculous.12 weeks is ridiculous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025252027978265531.post-62840599396690055512015-10-21T06:05:26.290-07:002015-10-21T06:05:26.290-07:00Or we have a bad case of nepotism going on.

Time, and blood pressure permitting, take a regular look at what goes on with the web listing for the building dept. staff. Also take a look at the ever changing permit time line.<br /><br />SIX WEEKS for a revision to an existing permit! Every builder will tell you there are changes to almost any construction project. So let's see, we gotta shut down for how long??? because a simple revision goes on the bottom of a pile that has six weeks of dust on it.<br /><br />As to staff, we're losing all the wrong people. Little old San Juan County does NOT need overlapping bureaucracy with the many State departments. Staff doing all this overlapping are the ones we need to say good bye to. Also, "Long range planning." In this World can there even be an attempt at such a thing? Or, is it a complete waste of time and money.<br /><br />What is desperately needed is someone who seeks out and encourages businesses to bring year round, decent pay, employment here. But that's not an empty employment slot, because it does not exist.

I joke not. The level we are currently at is significantly below freshman level in any category you may wish to look at.<br /><br />The good and bad about our dear Country is that many start at the bottom with nothing and work themselves upward to a successful level. That's the good. the bad is that others are just plain lucky or fall into success through birth or the uncanny ability to sneak into success without any substance or accomplishment. I would suggest Mr. Hughes fits well into this latter group.<br /><br />So in casting the net for someone, almost anyone, to run for the County Council, let us find those who have worked and accomplished success in a way we admire rather than in a way we can't trust or even understand.
