Dear Editor,
Good afternoon. I called the judge executive’s office but was unable to get an answer. I’m not sure who else to ask or to maybe have it questioned but does any one know why the county treasurer and his wife use the county emergency truck for personal use?
If anyone needs a county vehicle, I would think that would be one of the last people on the list to use county/tax payer dollars, when they’re job is not to travel the county for business purposes. I pass their home at times going to visit relatives but didn’t know until the other day that was who resides there.
The truck has been parked there for some time but it seems odd they would be driving it daily back and forth to work, when they’re non emergency employees. I’m not even sure his wife is even an employee of the county. Maybe I’m just old and overstepping.
Also, why isn’t this a voted position for the county when they’re handling our finances. Shouldn’t they also have to have an accounting background? Maybe he does, I just know I have read the librarian requirements and if that’s required to fill that position, I’m sure to be county treasurer you would also need an accounting degree and background.
