“but when the department has over 100 plus openings” excellent informative writing but I’ve been trying to get basic info on RCSO staffing numbers and by demographics for a long time…it seems to be secret. 100 openings = $3 mil saved but needed for crime….??? TAP please report on staff numbers.
Gosh, I can see how nothing gets done down there during a commissioners meeting….they just talk in dang circles! And then the discussion goes off the original topic and, before you know it, times up!! It’s almost like there are just too many commissioners appointed, and just about all of them want to hear themselves talk!
Agree. Hot air brings no results. My Brothers Keeper account needs to be fully audited, replaced and used
For troubled youth; scholarships to good schools and family support services. Pole dancers indeed. Hardy should be ashamed to show his face in public.
The Commission (one Commissioner in particular pushed this item) found $240k for LED lights at tennis courts but can’t find $60k to help reduce crime in the County. A lot more going on behind the scenes that the Public knows.
If you have an accusation to make, gives us the name(s) and don’t copy Michael Meyers.
All you have to do is watch or attend the Commission meetings to find out the answer.
“The supplicant must schedule an appearance in front of the commissioners and appear in person with hat in hand. No minions may appear on the supplicant’s behalf. The funding request must be made verbally, on bended knee, while looking as pitiful and subordinate as possible. No written funding request or justification for the funding request will be accepted to prevent a paper trail and provide plausible deniability. The supplicant must be willing to be interrogated about any subject unrelated to the funding request and provide answers. The commissioners are under no obligation to listen to or respond to the supplicant’s answers. The commissioners will then dismiss the supplicant and table the funding request.”
The above is an excerpt from the Augusta-Richmond County Procedure Manual for requesting funds for department staffing and projects.
In the immortal words of Charlie Brown, “Good Grief.”
They want to talk about everything but the root causes of a growing criminal population. They want to bandaid symptoms rather than address the disease.
I thought it was illegal to collect funds for a charity and disperse them for other means..and don’t look for Hardie to apologize for any wrong doings or even admit them..I’ve never seen a locally elected politician with a ego as big as his…
Wanna bet that there were street lights in Barton Village at one time and they were knocked out by “youths”?
