AREAS OF CONCERN 10: SEND STAFF (OR INFORM STAFF) TO CONTINUING ED WORKSHOPS TO KEEP THEM ON TOP OF OHIO REVISED CODE CHANGES

Under previous Clerks (Mary Eloise Evans and Collette Crouch) the staff in the COC office would occasionally go to workshops where they would be updated in particular laws and procedures pertaining to the COC office. The clerk would also receive information from the State of Ohio that she would pass along to her staff to keep them informed and up to date in said laws and procedures.

Under the “leadership” (cough-cough) of Barb Johnson, this has not taken place. One of Barb Johnson’s greatest gifts (besides being the “NOTHING” clerk) is being the “Non-Communicator.” Well, I guess that goes along with doing “NOTHING.” It has been “years,” as one employee told me about a year ago, since they have been to any workshop or Barb has told them of any communication she has received from the State of Ohio.

Well, when you think about it, for her first 20 years in office, she was rarely in the office, so how could she send her staff to any workshop or forward any other communication that she had received. Now that she is in the office almost daily, she still isn’t doing this. I guess old habits are just hard to break aren’t they Mrs. Johnson.

Don’t you wonder how much back in the 20th century these girls are working? Having not received any of this information from the State of Ohio for years, it makes one wonder how many things they are doing that are either: 1) not necessary, 2) not according to procedure, or 3) not lawful. It isn’t the staff’s fault; they are just going by the information they last learned or received (which was back in the days of Evans and Couch).

Well, if we, the citizens of Erie County are lucky, maybe Johnson too will see the tremendous amount of damage she has done over the past 20-plus years and retire….SOON. We can only hope and pray.

Too bad, and so sad; especially since OUR tax money is paying her to do “NOTHING” about everything.To you the voter I ask: Does this look like she is doing the job that she was elected by YOU THE VOTERS AND TAX PAYERS of Erie County to do?
