\A story our blog community highlighted FIRST is now a leading example of problems with accountability and transparency among elected officials in Jackson County . . . And not just the low-level clerks forced to ask for forgiveness.
Take a look:
Newspaper doesn't note extent of actions or anything beyond a presser: Three jail employees face discipline in mistaken release of Raytown murder suspect
KSHB: Phone calls leading to mistaken release of murder suspect revealed
KCTV5: “We apologize to citizens of Jackson County and to the family of the victim. It’s terrible that this occurred,” said Director of the Jackson County Jail Joe Piccinini.
The suspect remains at large as of this writing . . .
Discipline. As in fired?
ReplyDeleteNot one of the administrators was fired. Nor one. And this isn't the only faulty release. I am thankful that Frank White got job #1 done. His kid got a cushy, position at the sub standard ATA. $80,000 for doing very little.
ReplyDeleteJackson County government at its finest!
ReplyDeleteEver try to work with the appraisal office?
How about having any experience in the court system?
No oversight or accountability whatsoever from the elected legislators. They all seem to be WAY to busy on their personal careers, agendas, and what they're going to run for next.
It never changes.
Just get a bus and go pick up a load of coons at a time and transport them to jail. Hell there is about an 90 percent chance they have done something illegal.
ReplyDeleteThe justice system around here is a joke from the prosecutors to the ones running the jails.
ReplyDeleteClean house people and I mean clean house.
I for the sake of me can't believe there isn't someone who will run against Jean in this next election. Hell, City Hall is so corrupt it will take, more than the right person to make a difference in the prosecutor's office. It will take a whole army of such. Something needs to happen very quickly or Kansas City as I once knew it will for sure be no more, and it's damn close to that now.
"Three jail employees face discipline in mistaken release of Raytown murder suspect"
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine what would happen to a citizen who was responsible for turning a killer loose? Boy, this is cover yer ass bureaucracy at it's finest, especially given that "discipline" will amount to an ass chewing and perhaps a nasty gram.
Did some one get paid?
