Gloucester, VA County Truck Number 67 At McDonald's Again



































Parks and Recreation truck number 67 was seen again at McDonald's this past morning, Monday, December 16th, 2013 at about 8:15 AM.  This is the same truck that was here last week on Monday.  Below is the county employment code from the county's own website.  Chapter 13 of the employment code.

Section 13-27: Use of County Vehicles

County vehicles are provided for the use of employees and authorized
volunteers in conducting official business of the County. Personal use of County
vehicles is prohibited. Certain employees are required or allowed to take a County
vehicle home at night, as they are required to respond to the needs of the County
outside of normal business hours. Take home vehicles must be approved by the
County Administrator who shall maintain a current record of all authorized take home vehicles.

Operators of County vehicles should practice “defensive driving” and
anticipate and observe the actions of other drivers and control their own vehicle in
such a manner so as to avoid an accident. Operators of County vehicles and all
passengers therein shall properly use seat belts at all times. Injury resulting from a failure to wear seat belts may constitute gross negligence on the part of the individual and upon case review may jeopardize an employee’s eligibility for relief normally provided under the worker’s compensation or disability claims.

Above is the link to the information so everyone can verify this for themselves.  We don't make this stuff up.  For 8 months we have been reporting this abuse.  For 8 months the abuse continues with nothing being done about it.  It would seem fair to say that Brenda Garton, county administrator and Ted Wilmot, County Attorney are not doing their jobs but are instead failing to do their jobs in protecting the county, the taxpayers and the Board of Supervisors from waste, fraud and abuse as well as increased costs and expenses as well as increased liabilities.  We have filed a complaint form with human resources about this employee who is very clearly in violation of the above policy.

  Since it is clear that neither the county administrator nor the county attorney are capable of doing their jobs, they should be termed for cause without any further form of compensation whatsoever.  One also has to question the department heads as to why they are unable to properly communicate to their own employees what the policy states and then make sure that the employees maintain this agreement.  The above employee driving truck 67 has already been reported and nothing has been done about it.  Employees continue to use county vehicles for their own personal use all the time with no regard for employment policies and the county officials are letting them?

Gloucester County Government Employee Waste Encore Pictures
















































We just asked what Gloucester County government employees could possibly do for an encore.  We wrote that to soon.  We were sent yet another email of another incident regarding a county government employee.  This is vehicle number 600, same as stated earlier as seen at Hardee's by the courthouse area of Gloucester.  This time it's Monday, July 29th, 2013, same day, at 10:45 AM at the Hardee's in Hayes.  Did he get a memo to stay out of the Hardee's at the courthouse area and decided to go to the one on the other side of the county.  He was seen heading back up to the courthouse area after leaving Hardee's parking lot in Hayes.

  So now county employee's are driving farther away to abuse wasting gas to eat every few hours?  Do we need to post the phone numbers on this site for the Hardee's restaurants so people can get ahold of county employees when they can not be found at work?

  The other fast food businesses should file a lawsuit against the county for unfair business practices as all the county government employees are playing favorites here?  Sounds absurd?  Well so do today's multiple stories on county government employees as well as Friday's.  This just never seems to end.  Is the county going to give tax credits back to Gloucester citizens for all of this waste?  And they want to forever increase taxes, everyone can see why right here.  There is no leadership in this county for government employees.  This all starts at the top and works it's way down and it's clear that it is out of control.

Gloucester, VA To Get Illegal Middle School? Part 3




























On Friday, we posted pictures sent to us via email of Gloucester County employees using county vehicles to conduct personal business.  Seen above are new pictures sent to us today of yet another Gloucester County employee from another department once again, doing the same thing.  This time it is vehicle number 600 from Parks and Recreation.  These photos have been sent to us by two separate individuals.  One person was obviously inside while another was outside.  We are told that this took place at about 7:05 AM this morning.  Monday, July 29th, 2013.

  So what does this have to do with Gloucester potentially getting an illegal middle school?  Well the answer is both nothing and yet at the same time, everything.

  It shows us that Gloucester County officials have no control over their own employees and the waste employees are causing the taxpayers of Gloucester.  If officials can not even control their own employees, how can they possibly be expected to control 17 million dollars in Bond money?  It shows that Gloucester officials have no problems wasting tax dollars with no regard to taxpayers.

  It shows no regard to state laws, codes or policy.  When we reported on Twitching Ted, (I'm not an attorney), Wilmot, Gloucester County attorney found shopping during the middle of the day during business hours, it's clear that the problem starts at the top and employees are only following the example.  When does it end?
