We Said It
Words matter. Last week in E-Tracks we questioned how Mr. Huckelberry could retire and no one seemed to know about it. Just based on our collective professional experience, we knew that when you retire/resign/terminate, that HR knows about it, Payroll knows about it, Accounting knows about it. This is no big secret. Unless it is. In the case of Mr. Huckleberry’s retirement, it appears it was the BIG SECRET of Pima County.
They Heard It
The Pima County Board of Supervisors will meet on Tuesday, April 19. One of the items for discussion is for the events, pertinent documentation, and any other items or individuals with knowledge of the employment contract of former Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry. They knew that the Pima County Republican Party was watching and would hold them accountable.
Item 4
Discussion/Direction/Action regarding the events, involved Pima County staff, pertinent documentation, and any other items or individuals with knowledge of the employment contract of former Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry. This item will also allow, include, and not be limited to matters related to Mr. Huckleberry’s (sp) changed employment status effective July 4, 2021, and the events surrounding it, as well as his resignation. All documents pertinent to this item are requested for review. Further, it is requested that representatives of the Human Resources and Payroll Departments who are familiar with these details be present. Mr. Huckleberry’s (sp) personal attorneys are invited to answer questions regarding their client’s employment contract.
Now They Must Act on It
Rex Scott (District 1), Matt Heinz (District 2), Sharon Bronson (District 3), Steve Christy (District 4), and Adelita Grijalva (District 5) are responsible for the oversight of Pima County government. Please contact each of the Supervisors and tell them that an investigation into Mr. Huckelberry’s retirement and the appointment of Jan Lesher needs to be investigated. We need to send this message to them before the Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday. Here’s the agenda.
We Won’t Let Up
We need leadership in Pima County. No more just showing up and seeing what’s on the agenda. Our Board of Supervisors must be aware of the activities of county government, they must know the policies of the County Administrator and they must monitor the operations of the county government. Pima County has a swamp just like Washington D.C., and we must hold those accountable who we have elected and entrusted to govern our community. We will no longer stand by and watch while our civil servants and government officials grow their coffers at our expense. Join me in fighting back.
