Why doesn't the Mayor start with the Sheriff's office? I'm sure it's just as bad or worse.

Mr. Miller is an outstanding gentleman, not sure about all this.

I am very happy to see that the mayor is stepping up to the plate and is doing somthing to stop the corruption in this county. I agree with springs, the Sheriffs office needs some serious overhauling.

When will they leave this guy alone??? I know Mr. Miller. He has done a lot for this city AND county! He was "dumped on" when he worked for the city and now the county is picking right up where they stopped.
I thought Haley had retired? Is he running the county now??? Did I dose off and miss an election???????

What happened to being innocent until proven guilty? This sounds like a personal attack. Does the mayor really have any proof of all of the charges or is he just trying to take the heat off of himself for the bible park caper? Maybe he should check with Ms.stephenson and the relationship she has with a former employee of the workcenter that was asked to resign for material that was found on his computer that was deemed smut. (Mr.J Stevens)

NEPOTISIM??? NEPOTISM???? NEPOTISM????
Isn't the HR director the daughter of former Commissioner Faye Elam who still works for the county. What about Mr. Gill and his brother? Isn't he still working at the Central Office? How many husbands and wives work for the Sheriff? Oh, dosen't Commissioner Farley's son work for the Sheriff? What about Shirley Jones? Isn't her husband the director of county codes and please don't let me forget Lisa Nolen and her husband, Mac, who heads solid waste.
Does anybody recall Deputy Kyle Burgess who is the Mayor's son. Think the Mayor really knows what nepotism or conflict of interest really means?

Let's not forget the Community Learning Center (CLC). The private alternative school the County funds. They have three total staff. Principle= Husband, Asst. Prin/Lead Teacher = Wife , and the third teach = no relation.
It's important to handle all County Departments the same. When you start nit picking it begins to look shady.
I have known Mr. Miller professionally for 10+ years and have known him to be an excellent department head for the County.

Alot of innocent hardworking people are being hurt here. The mayor should give good faith warnings and investigate before setting up the county for several wrongful termination lawsuits. What's the mayor doing not discussing all this over time and correcting it before it becomes this level of problem anyway?

I'm a country boy and it easy to confuse me, but if Burgess new about this since April and he had to "angonize" over it for 6 months...why didn't he just tell the other members on his Board. Didn't he say they were as responsible as Miller. Does he not trust them either or did he want to handle it like the Bible Park situation...by himself. Lookout Board Members you may be next to be axed.

Mr.Miller is suppose to be a leader in a work house facility which is a part of our local law enforcement. I am glad someone is holding him accountable for the failure to be a leader.

whatsthis, I didn't erase my comment. Someone at the Post erased it for me...TWICE! Apparently if your opinion doesn't agree with someone's at the Post they will take care of it for you. So much for freedom of speech.

Anyone can smile and kiss the babies in front of the camera, but what they do when they think no one is watching tell who they really are.

hometowngal/imjustagirl- Which glass house do you live in? It sounds like you may have some personal issues with the work center leader, instead of making comments from a professional or citizen viewpoint. What is the advantage of telling lies and rumors? What prize is there for you in the end?

All I know is there is a lot of fingers being pointed and the ones pointing probably have no idea what is going on inside the workhouse. For the ones of you who are pointing fingers why don't you start pointing them at yourself? It's not like you have never done anything wrong!!! While you are at it why not add a few things to that list of violations? Where is favoritism and hostile work enviroment? Surely those would be there with a list of "accusations" shown above. I think everyone should leave well enough alone, mind their business, and leave the workhouse employees alone.

I agree with hometowngal, it easy to look good in public when everyoneis watching, but it what you do when you think no one is looking that counts. and the glasshouse comment, what up with that, her opinion is as important as yours, is there some sucking up going on here?

susieq09-Let me explain it more clearly to you, comments like that only hurt people and departments. Don't see how you related that to your frivolous term, "sucking up"!! The comment sounded more like an accusation to me, and it appears that there has already been enough of that.

Has anybody noticed that no other media has reported on this other than the Post. Wonder why? Is the Post the only news source that is interested; the only one that knew; or the facts of the Mayor's complaint so sketchy that no one else cares?

My opinion is neither personal or professional. It's an opinion just like yours (whatsthis)...You on the otherhand sure are offended by the fact that our mayor has taken the facts he has received and is doing a investigation. Needs to happen more often as far as I am concerned..

Hey, anybody happen to see the news tonight? Looks like the Rutherford County Correctional Center isn't doing everything wrong. Don't know about you but I'm sure Mr. Hopper is happy that Mr. Miller was around.
