They did not bother to report it to the public, nor investigate. <BR/><BR/>Talk about qualifications; this city has numerous unqualified people serving in public office. It all depends if the person is the one you supported!<BR/><BR/>At least there is an investigation in progress at the Coroner's office. Wait for the results.<BR/><BR/>Mayor Bart Peterson is responsible for the misconduct of his appointed officials as well in the Department of Metropolitan Development and other city agencies. No response from him for the Bar/Restaurant in the Julia Carson Government Center permit violations. This is not acceptable.<BR/><BR/> Should he resign if the mistakes and errors are not corrected?<BR/><BR/>The Democrats have screamed about the Bureau of Motor Vehicles computer glitches and wants the governor to terminate Mr. Silverman. At least the governor assumed the responsibility for his appointed official.<BR/><BR/>Should the Governor Daniels resign?<BR/><BR/>Carl Drummer hired a public relations firm to respond for his support regarding the "Sweetheart Deal" with the investors for the bar/restaurant in a government building.<BR/><BR/>He has yet to answer to the public about the money spent for contracts and legal fees involved in this business deal. no public announcement went out to the community prior to.<BR/><BR/>Should he resign?<BR/><BR/>Where are the denials?<BR/><BR/>There are numerous untold truths that have not been reported by the media.

At some point, you have to provide facts. <BR/><BR/>As for "Dr." Ackles:<BR/><BR/>First of all, a chiropractor for coroner is just silly. The profession is 50% joke, 25% orthopaedic wonder, and 25% blue smoke and mirrors.<BR/><BR/>Anyone who cancels a contract for pathologists, less than a year old, with no plan for backup, is seriously deranged.<BR/><BR/>Anyone who treats John Linehan the way he did, is incompetent.<BR/><BR/>What has happened in the office now, is criminal.<BR/><BR/>He should save what little dignity he has left, and leave.<BR/><BR/>Set up--like, how?<BR/><BR/>Without AI pointing out the coronere's muscues almost a month ago, the mainstream media might never have known.<BR/><BR/>So, thanks again, AI.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1158388785974003652006-09-16T01:39:00.000-05:002006-09-16T01:39:00.000-05:00Well said Queen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1158381055180634602006-09-15T23:30:00.000-05:002006-09-15T23:30:00.000-05:00I have known Dr. Ackles for over 30 years and have known him to be honorable and ethical prior to him becoming a chiroprator. I do believe that when the facts are in he will be exonerated and his good reputation restored to him.<BR/><BR/>History:<BR/><BR/>To Wilson46201-The Two faces of Eve - She destroys, if she can't control.<BR/><BR/>Julia Carson threatened Dr. Ackles when he first took office because he would not let her dictate to him who to hire or grant contracts to.<BR/><BR/>She thought she could control a countywide office after he was elected. I find it strange that recently his office has become so controversial that people want him out of the office. Could it be that he was setup by the Ghetto Mafia?<BR/><BR/>They thought they could control him after he was elected. Dr. Ackles did not join "The Ghetto Mafia".<BR/><BR/>You keep making references to Atty. Darla Williams. She headed his transition team against the wishes of Julia Carson. The real reason you have begun attacking her.<BR/><BR/>She switched political parties because of the corruption she witnessed just as I did. <BR/><BR/>You need to check yourself. You and Tony Duncan, Carson's ex-lover and live-in boyfriend have stuffed ballot boxes illegally, destroyed opponents yard signs, rigged the old voting machines and have ran smear campaigns against her opponents.<BR/><BR/>You keep attacking me on the blogs for telling the truth about her tactics. I will continue to spread the word about the actions of this gang. It is all true! Can you state the same?<BR/><BR/>The people are fed up with her reign of terror, harassment and acts of intimidation. <BR/><BR/> You and others dare to call me a loser. For your information the elections lost were experiments to document all of the techniques used by this gang to win elections in Center Townships. You willingly walked into my trap. That is why I can write about it now.<BR/><BR/>I know every trick her gang has played on Election Day and before. Voter fraud, voting deceased voters, casting fraudulent absentee ballots, registering voters at addresses where they did not live, listening in on phone calls when she talked to other elected officials. <BR/><BR/>You see Wilson Allen; I have witnesses to back me up, former employees in the Trustee office, Democrat precinct committeemen, and regular street people. They all talked to me after they were double-crossed by her.<BR/><BR/>You are a puppet and continue to stand on the front line attacking people for her.<BR/><BR/>Her gang has tried to silence me all of these years but they can't. Several of her cronies are deceased now who performed dirty tricks on me and other people and new recruits have replaced them. <BR/><BR/> If you choose to continue to confront me on these blogs, I am prepared to release all of the names of individuals, the roles they played, and the drugs and money they were paid to help steal elections across the board.<BR/><BR/>You should confess your involvement with this gang while you are writing on all of these websites.<BR/><BR/>Write about yourself first, and then write about others!Queen916https://www.blogger.com/profile/16645350502782946096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1158338562469764512006-09-15T11:42:00.000-05:002006-09-15T11:42:00.000-05:00It's been a day or so since this was rasied, and I just cannot get this dead man's family out of my mind. It's like I, as a taxpayer, want to apologize to them. <BR/><BR/>When a brother or loved one dies, for whatever reason, at 51, that's sad enough. But to have to sit around and think about your dead brother, lying in a morgue while the police wer elooking for him, and nis nephew (?) getting shot, too...obviously, there's more to this story from the family's perspective, but it's guit-wretching.<BR/><BR/>And the simplest part of this should've been proper disposal of the body.<BR/><BR/>So very, very sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1158284951897103572006-09-14T20:49:00.000-05:002006-09-14T20:49:00.000-05:00Thanks AI I couldn't remmeber if it was EEOC or lawsuit...Linehan got screwed, that's all I remember.<BR/><BR/>It was very nasty, as I recall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1158274844993595562006-09-14T18:00:00.000-05:002006-09-14T18:00:00.000-05:00Linehan was also falsely accused of working as a paramedic on the coroner's dime.

The numbers have been trending that way for awhile.<BR/><BR/>John Linehan, a qualified forensic police officer, tried to run, and was shut out. He's white. Do the math.<BR/><BR/>Ackles was almost forced to hire Linehan in some sort of deal. Plus, Ackles needed someone qualified, because, God knows, a bone-cracker is barely a medical person. <BR/><BR/>That working relationship lasted a little over a year. Ackles ran Linehan out. Shoddy work practices, lots of hard feelings, and I think even some legal action.<BR/><BR/>Same thing happened in the surveyor's race. The Dems ran a lady who's run for virtually every office in the party before. She's a nutcase and everyone knows it. Somehow she escaped through slating...nobody else wanted the office. She won, of course.<BR/><BR/><BR/>McGoff was a qualified medical person, but he had many, many other faults. Ask around.<BR/><BR/>Who wants the job for 38K a year?<BR/>If you're qualified, you're making a lot more.<BR/><BR/>This job should be appointed, from a field of qualified candidates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1158273706496680802006-09-14T17:41:00.000-05:002006-09-14T17:41:00.000-05:00I know Ackles' predecessor, Dr. John McGoff, and he is a medical doctor (an emergency room doctor to be precise). My recollection is that the Republican candidate, Rich Lucht, was also an emergency room doc who had experience as a deputy coroner--presumably he was groomed by McGoff. My understanding was that the Dems didn't expect to win the race so they didn't pay much attention to who they nominated at the time, although a much more qualified person had sought the party's support but was turned aside.Gary R.

I know you've been covering Ackles' not-quite qualifications for a time now, Gary. Tell me - because I don't know - did Ackles run against anyone? Did the Republicans nominate a candidate?

Nobody cares about you or the crap you're spewing. Would you like Darla to make that phone call??<BR/><BR/>Who by law has the authority to begin an impeachment against Mr. Ackles? Someone at the state level? This is beyond pathetic! And to think the county just did a cremation without any concerns over the family. Perhaps some co-ordination with the police would have been in order? how hard would it be to contact missing persons "Hey we found a stiff this look like anyone you're looking for?" and this would have wrapped up with a sad ending instead of the pathetic ending it has now.

Dems slated him and then nominated him in the primary 2 years ago. The voters deserve their share of the blame as well since they elected him without bothering to learn anything about his qualifications, or lack thereof, before voting for him. I'm unaware of any legal advice Williams may have provided to Ackles in the past, but I'm sure if she did, it did not pertain to the day-to-day management of the office by Ackles' underlings.Gary R.
