True, but I have seen agency heads flat out lie to the BOS about implementing findings. Nobody, nobody ever doublecheck to see if these any changes are ever made.

Hey, butterfly–neither the Grand Jury nor Harvey Rose have any enforcement authority with which to follow through .

On the bright side, the council voted away my attackers right to do business here. Maybe him and his ilk will go back to “tough guy NYC” and leave this business to the peace loving hippies that started here.

And shame on Perry Woodward for defending the guy. Seriously man, someone as highfalutin as you shouldn’t have even set foot on that case.

Every failed audit is followed by another failed audit. Executive Smith is only interested in VMC and EPIC and loves to micromanage them. Everything else swept under the rug by his army of yes men who know that Grand Jury and Harvey Rose never follow through. If employees complain their career is over. The board of supervisors are too busy pontificating to rock the boat. The Mercury never reports on anything county and the public gets screwed.

The Office of Human Relations had a pretty successful Victim Offender Program that helped get restitution for victims. I’m curious as to what happened to it.

In my personal opinion, the County and the Board of Supervisors spend more money and time working to help offenders than victims. This really needs to change.
