SR GOES AFTER JOHNSON

Well, it looks as if the Sandusky Register has gone after Johnson about her lack of response on the SR's records request. Check out the SR article here. We already covered this topic in this article where we stated,

"Notice to the Sandusky Register: Do not expect to receive that public records request - EVER. Why? The answer is simple: our "NOTHING" clerk will NEVER, EVER get around to getting that information to you because she is way too busy doing. . . . . . well . . . . . NOTHING . . . . . . . . . . "

Again, our "NOTHING" clerk, who get's paid $54,000 a year to do "NOTHING," is doing "NOTHING." The evidence is just sooooo glaring!

This current act of not doing her job should surprise no one as it has been going on for the past 20+ years. The SR should not sit back and wait for these records to come forth because, like everything else in that office, it just won't happen.

Barb should stop prolonging the agony and just retire IMMEDIATELY! ! Within the past 2 years, there have been a few of her best employees retire. Instead, it should have been Johnson that retired leaving her best employees and a newly appointed COC to clean up her mess!

QUARTERLY REPORT CARD: FALL 2009

2. Records on line 0
3. SSN & financial account numbers removed from hard copy case files 0

11. Automated Phone System 0
12. Over all Grade 1

Grade scale: 12=A+; 11=A; 10=A-; 9=B+; 8=B; 7=B-; 6=C+; 5=C; 4=C-
3=D+; 2=D; 1=D-; 0=F



As you can see, compared with the previous summer quarter, she has stayed the same. Last quarter, her overall grade was a D-. This quarter's overall grade is also a D-. She did have improvement in one area: We gave her a C- in addressing office understaffing because she did hire someone to replace Sandra Brown in the Title Dept. She hired someone with no experience and sent them to another county (we think it was Lorain County) for an extended period of time to be trained. Our question is, who is paying this person while they are being trained in Lorain County? Erie County or Lorain County? Another question is when is she going to hire someone to replace Judy (who retired in Spring of 2008), Yvette (who left in August 2009) and Anita (who retired December 2009)?

However, even though there was one small improvement in one area, and stayed the same with her attendance, there is nothing new in the other areas where she received "0." It just goes to show you that our "NOTHING" clerk is, for the most part, still doing "NOTHING" and getting paid by us, the tax payers for doing "NOTHING." I just wish we could get more work out of her for what we are paying her - you know, that $54,000 per year salary.

Now come on, really, would you expect anything more from our “NOTHING” clerk?

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?
