Is that not exactly what Mecklenburg County Manager Harry Jones is saying here?
Jones said he accepts responsibility for ongoing mismanagement and fraud at the county’s sprawling DSS operation, yet he wants a special meeting with commissioners to address the matter lest the DSS issue “fester between now and my performance evaluation.”
Really? If that is the case Harry, fire someone. Step up, identify the person or person(s) who failed to do their job and cut them loose. Happens every day in the private sector. County government? Hell, we’re still paying our old DSS director $150K a year to twiddle thumbs at UNCC.
