AT WILL EMPLOYMENT

At Tuesdays meeting (August 2, 05)
the Camden County Board of
Commissioners continued on the path
toward At-Will employment for their
employees.

For those who are not familiar with
the term it means you can be fired
at any moment without cause.

This sets up a scenario where; if
a superior doesn't like you - you're
fired!

If a County Commissioner doesn't like
you - you're fired!

If you don't contribute to a County
Commissioners campaign - you're fired!

If the County wants to cut expenses and
you have a lot of time in - you're fired!

If a superior likes you and you resist
advances (and there are no witnesses) -
you're fired!

Just last year when I started the process
of getting staff a well deserved raise,
the other Commissioners (one in
particular) sang the praises for the
staff. Now, the same Commissioner
is leading the charge for "At Will
Employment." This raises the
question. Folks, what have you done
in the last 12 months to get him p - o?

By their vote last night they are
advertising for a public hearing. I
voted for the public hearing to
hopefully kill the issue once and for
all.

Given the circumstances that there
are 4 votes for "AT-Will" how many
employees are crazy enough to speak
out in public? So my friend I urge
you when the date of the hearing is
publicized to get your friends (not
family) to speak out on your behalf.

If you want to talk to me in strictest
confidence my phone number is
912-882-4151. It is not necessary
for you to identify yourself. Remember
God takes care of those who take care
of themselves. Organize now (in secret)
to defend yourselves.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
****************************************
Denise R. Taylor writes about injustices:
I would like to share with the taxpayers of
Camden County what happens when you
ask questions about taxpayers money.

On July 19th I attended the County
Commissioners meeting in Woodbine,
Georgia. I went before the commission to
ask if any of them had any intentions of
telling the taxpayers how the JDA spent
15 million of the 35 million dollar bond
acquired for Express Scripts. I did not
get and answer from the Commissioners.

I returned to my seat and the Mayor
came over to me and stated "If you keep
coming up here somebody is going to
shoot you." After sharing this with my
husband he called the Sheriff Dept to
file a complaint. On July 22nd I went
to the substation to give my official
complaint. The officer in charge was
Mr. N. Fry (son of Harvey Fry,
Magistrate Judge). Also in attendance
was Walter Langshaw, Investigator
and his new investigative partner.
I started the statement by saying
what I stated in the beginning of
this letter. When asked why I felt
the Terrorist Threats were occurring.

I stated: I believe what lead to all of
this is the fact that I submitted
information to the District Attorney
implicating the entire Board of
Commissioners for DEFRAUDING
the taxpayers. The DA misrepresented
the facts to the Grand Jury to allow the
Commissioners to go FREE. He stated
to the Grand Jury that the amount of
land in question was 58 acres when in
fact it was over 100 acres. This was to
validate and cover up that a County
Commissioner acted in dual rolls as a
representative for First National Bank
and as a County Commissioner. They
utilized taxpayers money to pay all of
the taxes on property that the County
does not own. They lead the public to
believe at first that the County would
receive a clear title, after I exposed
everything they changed everything
including the wording. It then stated
Limited Warranty Deed instead of
Warranty Deed. Which is 360 degrees
from what was originally told to the
public. They changed the wording
because they could not produce.

I left town immediately after filing the
above report. I returned home on
Saturday evening. When my family
and I woke up Monday morning
someone had stabbed the tire on
our SUV with a knife.I filed another
police report with the City
of St. Marys.

I went to Woodbine to share
this information and to retrieve a copy of
the FIRST police report. The following is
a exact copy of what I received.

DEPUTY FRY AND DEPUTY LT. WALTER

COMPLAINANT/VICTIM DENISE TAYLOR.
MS. TAYLOR STATED ON 07/19/05
SHE WAS ATTENDING THE CAMDEN
COUNTY COMMISSION MEETING IN
WOODBINE. DURING THE MEETING
MS. TAYLOR STATED BURFORD CLARK
CAME UP TO HER AND SAID " IF YOU
KEEP COMING UP THERE SOMEBODY
IS GOING TO SHOOT YOU.". MS. TAYLOR
STATED SHE WAS NOT SURE IF HE WAS
THREATENING HER OR WARNING HER.
MS. TAYLOR STATED THE PERSON
SITTING TO HER RIGHT HEARD THE
COMMENT, BUT SHE DID NOT KNOW
THE PERSONS NAME. DEPUTY FRY HAD
MS. TAYLOR FILL OUT A WITNESS
STATEMENT FORM. MS TAYLOR WAS
GIVEN CASE # 2005-0700198. THE CASE
WAS TURNED OVER TO INVESTIGATIONS.

I spoke with Officer Wesley Walker about
the inaccuracies in the police report. He
agreed to have the basic information
corrected such as the date the incident
occurred. For everything else he offered
a justification. Within our conversation
he stated that "he was not sure that the
investigation would be turned over to
the GBI." I informed him that I did not
believe that the CCSO was capable of
doing a thorough investigation and
besides how can you investigate the
body that gives you your budget.

About two hours later I received a call
from yet another LT. stating that he had
spoken to the Mayor and he stated that he
did not make the statement to me. I
immediately responded by saying
"I am sure that you all told him to say
that he did not say it, but I find it quite
odd that the Probate Judge told me
before I entered the CCSO that
"He has no doubt about the mayor
saying what I said,he said but he did not
mean it in the way I took it." And if I
would stop stirring the pot all this would
go away." I then stated that I did not
share with the Probate Judge exactly
what the Mayor had said before he
made the statement, so how did he
know? Did the CCSO share the
information, or did the Mayor. Again
the officer was at a lost for words.
I stated I understand that your office
is not ran on honesty so lets just have
the Mayor and I to take a lie detector
test. The Officer stated I don't know
that he would agree to that. I then
stated well since you know that in
advance that's an admission of guilt.
The officer then proceeded to tell me
that he was not sure that the
investigation would be turned over
to the GBI because the Mayor denies
that he made the statement.

The TRUTH IS they have no intentions
of turning the matter over to the GBI
because they would all be indicted
upon completion of a thorough
investigation. If I were to share with
you all of the things that have happen
to me and my family since I exercised
my right to run for office, you would be
nauseated.
In 2005, the travesty continues!

Sandy Sez: In recent days I have
witnessed a disturbing trend in
Camden County.

A City Judge has been pounced
on for "not playing the game"
with local Attorneys. When he
convicted "A well connected
person," he was vilified.
Additionally, his personal
property has been damaged by
vandals and his family has been
harassed.

A frequent contributor to this
blog who is an out spoken critic
of things that are done badly
(an understatement) has been
threatened and like the judge
her personal property has
been vandalized.

Now, with the move toward
At-Will Employment, the
establishment is letting
everyone know "Toe the line
or you will pay!!"

The occurrences are very
reminiscent of Germany in
the 30's and 40's.

This must stop and it must
stop now!
