The recent Sandusky Register article “Records a Wreck: Erie County Clerk of Courts Files Overflow Across the Street,” has had some very interesting comments left by readers. We would like to respond to another of those comments. We love it when Johnson supporters try to defend Johnson.

"Had to check different discussions and seems to me like "noncomformist"states ,. . ."

OK Gramma, we don't know what you are even saying here.


"some people must not have any better things to do with their time than express rude remarks even as late as 3 am on all these blogs (You know who you are)"

I haven't come across any "rude" remarks. Many have expressed their anger and outrage at Barb for doing "NOTHING," but I haven't seen any "rude" remarks.

What difference what time of day people post comments?

"I think in the case of Barb Johnson even Rowdy wanted her out of there for years and he was right As far as the mess I think it's called "passing the buck"

Who is "Rowdy?" As far as "passing the buck," yep, Johnson is passing the buck by saying that she doesn't have enough man-power to do the job even though she has had past opportunities (permission from the Commissioners) to hire more people but failed to act on it. Check our article "Addressing Office Understaffing" which is Part 5 under the 11 Areas of Concern. When all is said and done, Barb was put in charge of the Clerk of Courts Office by the voters of Erie County. As the head of that office, "the Buck" stops with her.


"What about a team effort to get things done No matter who's in charge it's everyones obligation to get the job done as in any other place of employment."

Barbara already has an excellent team in place. It's called her office staff. She only needs to formulate a plan, and then execute that plan through her office staff. The problem is, Barbara is so overwhelmed by this mess, she has absolutely no clue where to start. So in her mind, doing "NOTHING" is better that fixing the problem.


"Come on people give the lady a break!"

We have given Barb Johnson a break for the past 20-plus years! How much more of a break does she need? Gramma, break time is LONG over. It's time to get to work and if Johnson can't do the job (which she has proven far beyond a reasonable doubt) then it's time to get someone in that position that can do the job!

STOP WASTING OUR TAX MONEY! ! !
