Grand Jury Report on Walton Planning Department

[graytonbeachguy]

Patriot Games said, "That being said, I would like to read the transcript of what was presented to the jury by the prosecution.(since there is no defense in a grand jury) That would tell the tale so to speak.............
There is a smell starting to come from this whole circle of influence of Eddins, Adkinsons and the Jones."

Grand jury proceedings are privileged and confidential. This is true of every grand jury, not just this one. Yet the fact that many details cannot be disclosed (Bill Eddins references this fact in the press conference) hasn't prevented rank speculation by three of the posters, those same three that are dominating the thread with wild accusations. How do you get Catalano as a conspirator when the failure to collect the fees happened in 2005? I don't know how old Catalano is, but he looks as if he would have been in middle school at the time this occurred. Don't let such obvious facts keep the three of you from grinding your axes. I guess you think you are advancing your cause. To the contrary, you're efforts are backfiring and you have compromised any shred of credibility you might still have.

Misty: Catalano was the supervisor who "washed his hands of a hiring?" Man, I just don't get how you could logically arrive that that conclusion. I thought he was Comm. Jones' pet, according to you. How does that put him acting at the direction of Meadows? I think in your haste to advance your conspiracy theories that you have let your tinfoil hat fall off.

This thread has devolved from a straight-forward posting of the grand jury's report to the ranting of three posters who lost their credibility many, many posts ago.

Who said anything about Catalano being involved in the missing 800,000????? Put down the crack pipe and read.

 

[graytonbeachguy]

You did, Patriot Games. Put your glasses on and read.

Let me break down what John G said about catalano......Grayton guy

Cecilia gets beat by meadows, catalano is jones aide

Catalano gets job in code enforcement- prior qualifications roofer and goes to C. Jones church
Catalano gets promoted to Sr. Code Enforcement officer when Jones gets reelected
Catalano just promoted to planner in the last two months

You do the math, County employee of the year or C Jones pet??

If meadows is crucified for helping somebody get a job(Who danny vouches was well qualified), the why not the same for Cecilia. No axe to grind here, those are either facts about catalano and jones or their not.

So Danny since you know her, do you think the jury got the whole story on cindy's employee or the story somebody wanted them to hear?

I would say that if the person in question is who I think it is I cannot imagine anyone thinking she was not qualified to do most jobs in county government with some on-the-job training. So I cannot imagine that all of her experience and qualifications were presented to the jurors for whatever reason. And if we are going to reprimand every commissioner or senior employee who has "put in a good word" to help someone get a position in county government, then we are going to burn through some paper because the guilty list will be long indeed.

So, you're telling me that Catalano didn't go to C. Jones who got him a job in the planning department using her own influence and whine to her about someone being hired with little or no experience when he had none when he was hired either?

Mmm yeah, ok.

It's no damn secret C. Jones and Meadows are not on the best of terms as Meadows whooped C. Jones A$$ the first time she ran for County Commissioner.

And for whatever it's worth to you I have not accused anyone of any conspiracy theories but I have asked question about what was in the report you offered up.

I don't think the Grand Jury went far enough and that's probably because they didn't have or weren't asked to look at C. Jones involvement in doing the same thing Meadows was accused of doing!!

Thanks for calling it like it is danny, you would have made a good umpire.......... Time for YOU to run for commissioner.

I didn't know credibility was a requirement to have an opinion either....but since you want to make mine an issue try disproving anything I've stated that I know for a fact.

Opinions vary about me being a good umpire or referee, but I love doing it anyways. Doing football and middle school basketball right now. As for running, been there, done that and won north of the bay, unfortunately I couldn't draw flies south of the bay. Since my district does not come up this next time I will be an observer this go around.

I did put them on and read, NOWHERE did I say catalano was responsible for the 800,000. Take your crayons and go home, you almost made me spill my John Daniels.
