The Civil Grand Jury report of June 26,
concerning spending on Nevada County Office of Education-issued credit cards is
another example of the Grand Jury operating out of control and lacking citizen
oversight.
Witch hunts are implemented with minimal
thought and due diligence. The presiding foreperson Keith Overbey, stated,
“We’re only as good as the information we get” leading one to assume that
minimal and possibly selective data is enough to disparage persons or
organizations. Judge Anderson needs to reign in this out of control group
comprised of well meaning volunteers before more innocent people are defamed.
Superintendent Holly Hermansen has made us
proud of our schools and she was reelected over the petty politics of
disgruntled old-guard board members who were voted off the board. Why does
Anderson and Overbey drag us back into the trials and personal tribulations of
Jack Meeks and Marianne Slade-Troutman, who were voted out? Why does the Grand
Jury lack the wisdom to avoid personal vendettas? Lack of foresight is apparent
and a pattern of sloppiness revealed when reading reports on the fire
department consolidation, gold mine water toxicity and vagrants. The report on
vagrants was especially hurtful to innocent people in need.
Enough is enough. Lets see an oversight report
on the Grand Jury’s mission and its management.
