This week it was the chapter with the fiction about the highway and landfill budgets.
Highway Dept: If the operators of the RC road equipment were taught how to drive the machinery so they wouldn't damage our roads we'd be able to get along with less expense. Expense for adding gravel that was graded off the roads into the ditches, expense for re-tarring roads that had been damaged by an over-zealous roadgrader gouging chunks of tar from the roads, expense of having to employ bulldozers to remove snow that snowplows had not removed or snow fences not put up etc.
Next time you are out and about see for yourself. When crossing into another county you can see how differently they take care of their roads, unlike RC. Other counties have no ice staying on the roads all winter long (as RC does) Why? Because they get out and remove it rather than waiting a week or more. Other counties have passable gravel roads after a rainfall (as RC does not) because they have rounded roads thereby allowing moisture to drain off....RC roads are either flat or have holes gouged in them allowing water to stand, ever notice?
One big expense easily tossed would be to have landowners/operators mow the roadsides, as they do for townships. Many counties have done this and cut a large chunk off their budgets.
Have you forgotten how bad our roads were this past winter? Over a week went by without maintenance just because there were internal problems. A week where we had several snowstorms and many blocked or impassable roads.
Landfill: This should not even be an issue as there was little if any upgrades for a long long time there. There hasn't even been any rodent control expenses from what we hear. With all the "paying customers and counties" using our landfill RC should have a lucrative business there.
Perhaps if RC didn't go around and pave commissioner's roads as "perk's" our budget might still be in the black. Just ask ex commissioner Voeltz about that.
What do YOU think?

SO TRUE SO TRUE !!!!!!!!
How about
this for saving money, 3 amingos told Vince not to use a out of Dept. guy to serve papers, Not Even when he was swamped. Then Hull gave new sheriff his name and said he would help serve papers. Could it be cause sheriff White??? Nothing against Tasa he has nothing to do with what these 3 do!!!! Mike
Well now we will being saving money since Chad Ward Quit today. There go contracts because people don't trust commissioners not to cut staff. Word is commissioners want to cut staff instead of them cutting their wasteful spending.
To the above poster:
GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To the above poster. You are stupid, we will lose contracts and be paying big money to take juvies out of county again. Vince and Chad got those contracts and they can make them go away if we have Idiots like you talking. Porky
You are so correct Porky! Don'y know legal limits of those contracts but would guess anyone involved would be having second thoughts about any and all contracts with RC jail with all that has happened. So now RC CC run the sheriffs office and the jail. SO SAD !! But election time is coming in just over one more year. That is a good thing!

Oh I'm sure they can make them go away. There some of the best at doing disappearing acts. Just like Vince when he left he became non-existent and Chad will too. Nobody will remember their names and all everyone will talk about is how screwed up the place was they ran it.
To the above poster: stay on your own pitiful blog. we dont need your empty headed remarks here
just so everyone knows...the above poster is hiding the fact they are the so called administrator of the junk blog what a joke
Well?? if I were the administator of the other junk blog I'd have no problem making a few more headlines about the former sheriff and jail admin.
Pretty hard to do when no body with any integrity reads the stupidity there. Your headlines would be meaningless to anyone who has any common sense and would know you for what you really are. Which is nothing more than some person without any morals, scruples, or integrity. Just another spiteful little person of no significance.
