Rush to Judgment



We spent the morning trying to get a copy of the report that was used to oust the Day Report Director.  To no avail!  

The County Commission office doesn't have it and we are no sure it even existed in written form at all.  It is possible that there is no written report of the committee.  It could well have been mere hearsay.

When did the committee meet and what was their agenda?  Do we have a functional "Star Chamber?"

Who attended that mysterious meeting that formulated the charges against Danny Arbogast? Was this the reason that they would not articulate the actual charges?  Perhaps there were no written charges at all.

This we do know from WVMR that there was no complaint from the grieved person it came from a relative.  It therefore was second hand information. (Not admissible in court)  

Secondly,  when and where did this committee meet!  That has to be a part of the record.  Who actually voted to remove the Director of Day Report?  And how as the choice of an Interim Director made?  (Madora Smith the secretary was chosen by someone!)

Here are the reported members of this Committee:

Sam Felton, Jeff Barlow, Gene Simmons, Public Defender, Wanda Wyatt, Missy Keatly,  Jacklyn Hollandsworth, and Pam Dale.  Jesse Grosclose is the president of the committee.

Did (do) they have a copy of the report?  Or did they ever see a copy of the report?  Was there even a report?

To what extent will the above persons will be charged with a violation of Arbogast's civil right to due process?  Will they have to empty their own wallets to pay for this? Will the county be liable since they voted to accept this report?

Will the next person face this lack of due process?

The clients of Day Report know full well that all you have to do to get rid of a Day Report director is get a relative to complain.
