Well where to start?
From the Elk Couty Rumor Mill?
From the Elk County Underground?
Oh heck I'll just ask a few questions about what I have heard and seen, okay?
Several years ago the
Konnected Kounty Kommissioners hired a gal who seemed to appear out of no where, with a college degree in something and made her the
Konnected Kounty Youth Development and the
Konnected Kounty Economic Development Employee, that's the way I saw it. Ms. Montgomery was all that, as far as the
Konnected Kounty Kommissioners were concerned. When I asked at those Konnected Kommissioners meeting what she was accomplishing in Economic Development I never received a respectable answer. One answer was that she was working secretly with someone that did not want to be known. Our county employees the ones that accept our money as pay are not authorized to keep secrets from us, are they? Are they permitted to keep secrets about county business from the elected officials? If so? By what authority? It is my opinion that was an excuse to cover up the fact that there was nothing being accomplished. And that is now backed up by literally no change in Elk County economically. No new industries, no new abundance of jobs, absolutely nothing but a waste of Taxpayers money. Of course if someone can show me otherwise, I’ll eat crow.
Also I never saw where there was a single solitary thing accomplished for the County government that had anything to do with Youth Development. I do believe she was working for
Elk Konnected, on Elk County time and pay, but where do you get Youth Development out of showing a movie on a TV set at the library or handing out the cheapest toys bought in bulk, that were not of enough value to throw away?
Well moving on when
Kontrol of the County Commissioners was wrested away from Elk Konnected, the position of Konnected Economic Development was abolished.
Elk Konnected, people showed up at the County Commissioners crying about it at no avail. They got down right ugly with some of their remarks in my personal opinion. Anyway the
Konnected Employee decided to quit as
Konnected Kounty Youth Development Employee. That was when the e-mails between her and the newspaper editor became available on her county owned cell phone and we discovered what the man and
Elk Konnected really thought of Elk County citizens, remember that?
Didn’t she go to work for West Elk USD 282 for a short period of time as Coach for the Cheer Leaders? And isn’t it true she was asked to quit or be fired? And is it possible the very same situation happened with her mentor from
Elk Konnected?She then somehow managed to get hired by the city of Howard. Now I'd like to ask if anyone knows if
Elk Konnected had anything to do with that hiring? Then, I heard she is placed in the Admistrative position of the nursing home at a salary of $60 grand a year and receiving training to perform those duties. Then I was told the trainer was being paid more than she was. I would tend to believe that $60 grand a year would possibly be pay commensurate with a seasoned Administrator in a major nursing home but not a novice employee. But never mind the training expense, it was said she was suppose to repay that according to their agreement.
But wait a minute there was no written agreement, no contract, I was informed. Could any of this be true?
Then I was informed she quit and that her last day was either Thursday or Friday and that she was leaving Elk County and going back home. Will she repay the taxpayers of Howard for her training? Just asking?
I don't know if a word of this Howard hiring is true or not so I am asking you readers to offer your input and inform the taxpayers of the truth as you know it?
Are we once again going to have the same kind of stuff re-occur with-in another
Konnected Kounty Kommissioners Board after the first of the year?
Isn't time to wake up and speak up and start attending Elk County Commissioners Meetings?
I sure hope some of you taxpayers join me and other concerned citizens at County Commissioners Meetings after the first of the Year.
Reminice for a few years and let every one know what you know. Let's share the knowledge, Okay?
Are we better off as a County or not?
