The plan resulted in increasing the office's payroll by several hundred thousands dollars and the fps are still costing about the same as what FPAI's contract cost the office. Further, the office negligently failed to collect perhaps as much as a couple of hundred thousand dollars from neighboring counties for autopsies the office performed. Try getting our Republican-controlled city-county council to do some oversight. Ryan Vaughn's law firm makes a lot of money representing the coroner's office and he has blocked any oversight of the office. He even gave Ballew an appointment to a board and bragged about how great she is. And people wonder why I'm so disillusioned with my own party here locally. We need people on our council who are more interested in the public than in putting money in their own pockets.Gary R.

The amazing thing is he still has a job running the place! Only in government can you screw up so badly and don't get fired over it!guy77moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248410686603913517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-23903022011974565562009-08-28T00:48:58.510-05:002009-08-28T00:48:58.510-05:00That's correct, Paul. You and Jay did an outstanding job on Linehan's behalf. It's amazing that the person who caused most of the problems in the office is still there running the place.Gary R.
