Draw Your Own Conclusion

Look, after 34 years of service, you don't get called into Rick Pollitt's Office on a Saturday and resign. Rai Sharma, (IMO) has been terminated and Rick Pollitt, (in a classy way) terminated him.

It is the County Executive's responsibility to make such harsh decisions and I personally believe there's much more to this story than was introduced at today's Press Conference.

My guess is that Rai Sharma is in deep sh!t with this investigation and like it or not, this should tell others who have had their hands and or knowledge into ALL of the illegal/questionable charades should step forward and come clean before the Sheriff's Department comes to get you.

I guess what is really mind boggling is that these are employees with a lot of tenure. They were making way above the average salary for this area and had all the added benefits and still that wasn't enough. Just look at today's economy. At a time when way to many American families are sinking further into debt, losing their homes and unable to maintain health insurance policies that are covering less and less, we have public figures that are not only robbing us blind but doing with our tax dollars. And this is just on a local level. I shudder to think what kind of corruption gets swept under the rug on a national level.

Line Item Budgets should be immediately mandated. Could this also have spread into the City? When you have people in the SAME BUILDING for that many years, one would have to question, could this have spread elsewhere? A Line Item Budget would at least force accountability in both the County and City.

Then there's the question of just how long has or could this have been going on? I have a hunch this is bigger than anyone thinks, I could be wrong. However, I've been doing this long enough to know, something doesn't smell right, so draw your own conclusion.

Mark my words, there's more to this than meets the eye and I think the lid is about to blow clean off this investigation.
