A hired gun who happens to do his job well. Let him lose an election and another one will come along. The root causes of our situation are citizen apathy and a system of governance that insulates the elected. It concerns being a chartered government entity ( any comment on this would be appreciated). I recall a synod email from Ms Baugh when I made a public outcry over one of her travesties in which she told me that because of the way the county is structured/organized/etc Commissioners could not be recalled so I could go pound sand.

I hope it has gotten sufficiently rotten that your work shows up in more inboxes. My wife told me that things here were run by the "good old boys". Unfortunately, they've been replaced by the crooked new boys

I am a former military war planner and recognize Pendicini’s hand. He uses classic military planning techniques for conventional as well as special warfare tactics. Might be interesting to learn where he went to school and I would bet he is well read in the genre.

Good job Cathy. I hope this exposure of these interlocking centers of political influence will cause some to back off from these folks, but I doubt it. There is too much money and influence at stake.

American politicians, journalists and academics make a habit of pointing their fingers at any number of Central American, South American and African countries and in faux rage proclaim that these countries are filled with corruption. But I would ask, are they as corrupt as politicians and big business leaders in America? To my mind, corruption is as American as apple pie.

Galeano's "Open Veins of Latin America" is eye-opening on who corrupted whom.
