Since I've gotten several emails, not to mention about 50 people telling me in person, "You need to update your site, because we miss it", I figured maybe I'd better do it LOL
Well, the most talked about subject around Miller County right now HAS to be the public hearing that took place a couple of weeks ago. I have to tell you, that was a night I won't soon forget (and I doubt most people who were there will either). We saw the true colors of our elected "leaders", and let me tell you some of them were NOT pretty!
The commissioners honestly didn't think anyone would show up, and were hoping they wouldn't. When more and more people came through the doors of the court room, you could see the fear. And, as it turned out, there was very good reason for this. Oh, Barbie and the rest had their supporters. I think there were about 10 in the audience who admitted to being on the commissioners' side, and most if not all of them were related to one of them (in other words, they were potential county employees who had to keep their job options open LOL).
As the "pending litigation" part of the meeting got underway, it became apparent to me and several others that both attorneys had a good working relationship. I believe if it were left up to the two of them, this whole mess could be resolved without anyone's feelings being hurt, and without a lot of monetary loss to the county. I think what's happening is the commissioners' attorney keeps working out solutions with Mr. Stone, only to have Barbie and the others do the absolute opposite of what he has in mind. It was obvious the other night that he has NO control over his clients.
Barbie sat there and told her little tale, and answered a few questions, and then the biggie was asked. A reporter from WALB News in Albany asked about the deputy that had been fired by the county commissioners. For those of you who aren't aware, the county commissioners have NO LEGAL STANDING in hiring or firing the people who work for the sheriff (including the deputies). This is under full control of Sheriff Glass. Barbie, Frankie, Bo, Clyde and Wallace don't seem to understand this (or just don't care), so they did indeed fire DEPUTY Melanie Williams, who is the county's sole SRO (school resource officer). She is assigned by the sheriff to the school, but is a sworn deputy.
Anyway, in response to the question, Barbie said that no deputy had been fired by the commission and that none had any interruption of benefits. Well, there was quite a course of "that's not true!" from those of us who knew what was going on. It just so happened that DEPUTY Williams was in the audience. She was asked by the reporter for an interview and agreed. During the interview, which was shown later that night, she produced her separation papers and explained that she went to get medicine at the pharmacy, only to be told that since she was no longer employed, she no longer had insurance. This, Mrs Womble, is an example of FIRING AND INTERRUPTION IN BENEFITS. She said after about two weeks, she was rehired and told it was all a "misunderstanding". Yeah, I guess you could call it that. Bet they didn't have any trouble understanding Mr. Stone when he told them they WOULD rehire her LOL. One good thing did come out of it though. At least now everyone sees what I've been saying all along... Barbie is a liar.
Getting back to the meeting: I had told my mom when we went in that if any person were to ask questions or make a comment that wasn't going along with what Barbie wanted, they would shut down the question and answer portion of the meeting. Sure enough, as soon as the truth started coming out, the commissioners' attorney nearly had a stroke, and they shut it down. The damage had already been done. There was a quick intermission and then they started the board of elections portion.
Well, if Barbie thought this was going to be less controversial, she was wrong AS USUAL. People were MAD! We do NOT want any of the five getting their hands on our election process. I mean, let's look at history... Nearly every person who has been hired since these people took over has either been a close personal friend or a family member of a commissioner. This means that the people they put on the board would be a close personal friend or a family member of a commissioner. There would be no way in hell we would ever have a fair election (in my opinion). Everything these people have control over, they screw up. I do NOT think we need to give them any more power. Actually I think we need to give them less... a LOT less.
It seems that during their excitement of taking over our elections, they decided to mislead Gerald Greene too. Apparently he had been led to believe that a public hearing had taken place, and we were all falling over ourselves in anticipation of this "wonderful" board that would be created. Hard to be excited, when they didn't let anyone know about it. When he and John Bulloch found out they had been mislead, they pulled it and started checking. GUESS WHAT? Mr. Greene even ended up publically apologizing to Mrs. Brenda McNease. Didn't look good for the BOC!!! Barbie still stands behind her hairbrained idea though. When asked about it at the meeting, she let everyone know she didn't care what her constituents thought, she still wanted it. Clyde said pretty much the same thing. So did Frankie and Bo. Wallace had withdrawn his name in order to kill the bill because he had gotten so many angry phone calls. After it was revealed they could still push to have it passed unless at least one more commissioner took their name off, Clyde and Barbie both did, but you could tell they didn't want to. The issue is dead.... for now.
But don't get excited... They are planning to put it on the ballot in November for a "straw vote". Barbie says it is just to see how people feel about it, since she doesn't feel the people at the meeting was a fair representation. If you don't want this, you'd better vote it down. I can almost guarantee you if you don't, it will be the LAST election you will have any fair vote in. We do NOT need the commissioners controlling our elections!
I was so proud of our citizens that night. They all came out and let the BOC know they were mad and sick of the way things are being handled. I talked to several who went into the meeting supporting the BOC, only to come out with their eyes open wide and completely on the side of the MCCO. Most of our citizens banded together that night in a way I have not seen in a long time. We were one unit, joined in a common cause. I just hope we stay that way during the upcoming county election, and the next one in two years (or recall petitions if what I've heard is true). It's time for a change in this county. Let's all stick together and make it happen!

The Defection has Apparently Begun!
I am only posting a short amount right now, but will probably have more in the next couple of days.
Have you heard the latest from Barbie's camp? Well, it seems the rats have begun jumping from the sinking ship. After the filing of several lawsuits (they have mentioned them in meetings, but haven't said how many yet), one of Barbie's main followers decided she'd had enough and quit!
Last night Judy Powell resigned as county clerk to work at a local bank. Considering the amount of money she was making as Barbie's gofer, I can only guess that she saw the writing on the wall and decided to get the hell out of Dodge while the getting was good. Guess what, Judy? You are still responsible for things that happened while you worked in that office, so you may not be out of the woods yet!!!
I feel like this is only the beginning. As more and more lawsuits (both against individuals and the county) are filed, there will be more defections. Those who remain will probably start turning on each other, and in the end the one who is the self-appointed "Sheriff" and the "leader" of the commission will probably be left holding the bag. I will be laughing until my sides hurt. This is going to be sooooooo good!!!!
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!

Miller County's Version of the "Beach Bull"
Hi everyone. I hope you're all getting ready for Christmas. It's only a few days away.
Well, I got my copy of "From the Horse's Mouth" in the mail today. I have to tell you (and Barbie, you should know I've talked to a LOT of people since Monday and they agree 100%) I feel the name should be "From the Horse's ASS". One guy did say he considered "From the Jackass", but decided there were more Jennys than Jacks LOL.
Anyway, getting back to the premier copy of "Ass", I started reading it, and the more I read, the more I laughed. The "newsletter" reminded me of the old Beach Bull I used to get in Panama City (and later had a subscription to). It brought back great memories of reading the bullshit in that newspaper (hence the name Beach Bull) and laughing until I had tears rolling down my cheeks and my sides were sore! That's the exact same thing I did today. Even Barbie can't keep her story straight!!!!!!!! In the meetings, they have been claiming the constitutional officers will be responsible for their own payroll as of January 1st (the day she releases the hostages!!!), but in the "Ass", she says, "We will continue to compile and complete payroll for the elected officials, but it will be done with some rules as to how it is compiled and completed." So which is it, Barbie? Do YOU even know? I highly doubt it!
I see she also has an article in here about the probation dept., in an attempt to call Mr. Lavon Cook a liar. Now I don't know about you, but the timing alone makes me believe Mr. Lavon more than her. Well, the timing along with everything else I've found out about the two individuals in the last three years. Barbie spoke at the First Friday Breakfast (knowing full well Mr. Lavon, Glenda and the Sheriff would not be allowed to offer a rebuttal since she wasn't even on the schedule) on September 4, 2009. On September 30, 2009 (only 26 days later), Mr. Lavon had his rebuttal printed in the Miller County Liberal, complete with numbers to back him up. It took Barbie another 2 1/2 months to come up with numbers to rebut what he had said. I don't know about you, but if someone had printed an article with numbers that I believed were false, and I had numbers to prove it, it would not have taken me that long to print them!!!!! ESPECIALLY when she has had advertisements and a letter in that same newspaper since September!!!!!! It all smells just a little fishy to me. Just my opinion, but it does.
I hope everyone enjoys the laughter you will probably get from reading the newsletter. In the times we live in here in Miller County, where we have HIGH taxes (even the QB admitted this in her article), mostly because of those overly high salaries certain hand-picked county employees receive, we do need a laugh. I think I'll go read mine again and get a few more chuckles before the Cowboys/Saints game.
Oh yeah, one more thing... I understand Barbie has already said she is running for re-election. I told ya'll when I reported what she'd said ON CAMERA and ON RECORD in the meeting that she was lying!!!!! She knew when she said it she was lying, (as usual) and so did I. Doesn't surprise me one bit.
Merry Christmas to everyone. God Bless us all. We're gonna need it!

Thank you all
This will probably be my last post for the day. I just wanted to say a great big THANK YOU for all the encouraging words and emails I've gotten today. They meant a lot, especially the hillarious ones that made me laugh. It makes it all worth it when I know I have people out there who appreciate it and support me. I did want to say how much I appreciated one in particular. R.C. I haven't laughed that much in a long time! I totally agree!
Now, just to keep the county bullshitters from taking all the space today, I wanted to update you on a few of the illnesses around town. From what I heard today, Ms. Mary Ethel Johnson, Mr. Joe Sloan and Mr. Jack Nicholson were all doing better and expected to come home today or tomorrow. Ms. Betty Jo Toole, Mr. Edwin Atkinson and Mr. Dan Fulford are still not doing good from what I hear. They all need our prayers. Also Mr. Milton Houston isn't doing well. Of course I also ask that you continue to pray for my sister, Brenda, and her son and my friend Pam's mom. They all appreciate it a lot.

LMAO
Well I see it didn't take long for the Barbie loonies to start putting the spin on the truth! Apparently I "attacked" a child. PLEASE! This is the last time I will address this, but I in no way attacked her. If anything, I was attacking Barbie (which isn't exactly a fair fight since she does so much stupid stuff to be attacked for). I merely mentioned her to get my point across as to why Barbie and the Idiots may be pulling one of their stupidest stunts to date!
In any event, if you want to believe the spin, then go for it. After working at BSH, I have learned not to argue with people like Barbie. I just keep voicing my opinion, updating the public on what goes on at the meetings, and let them eventually bury themselves. Enough said!!!!

An Update
At the risk of being threatened again, (some people will go to great lengths to hide the truth), I wanted to give a quick update to the SRO situation. Apparently Barbie and the Idiots have decided that they will pay half Melanie's salary until the end of the school year. Hmmmmmm sounds like they are trying to protect their asses from the inevitable lawsuits that will be coming their way (and from what I've heard parents say, they will be filed against the INDIVIDUAL, not the county). I don't think half the salary is going to do it though.
As a result of their providing only half the salary, the BOE has decided to put Rollin back as a bus driver, and pay the other half of Melanie's salary. This will still mean there will only be one SRO for the entire school.... where all students are in the same building..... from kindergarten to 12th grade. Boy I'll bet the parents are feeling really good about this. Lawyers, get ready! You're gonna be inundated with clients!!!!! Children, I would suggest you all learn karate. You may need it to protect yourselves. Oh yeah, and make sure you wear a bullet proof vest! Think I'm being silly? I'll bet the parents of those kids killed at Columbine didn't think it would happen to them either. Think about it!
Oh yeah, one other thing..... Just wanted to let all the commissioners know our camera was rolling the entire time tonight... Including when you were all in the back room.... Picked up some INTERESTING comments. Think about it and I think you might know what I'm talking about.

Today's Thoughts
I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. I know it's a tough one for some of my dear friends and family since they have lost loved ones this year through death or other events. Hang in there guys and know I am here if you want to talk. I'm not nearly as bad as some people would have you believe! LOL
We have several people who need prayers. My sister, Brenda, is the main one on my list. She and her son, Johnny both are dealing with health issues. Also Janet once again is in a crisis and needs prayers. And of course everyone here knows Jack Nicholson. Please pray for them. I talked to Ms. Jackie the other night, and she said he is very weak. He isn't doing well at all and needs all the prayers he can get. He did some good things for this county when he was on the BOE. Last on my list for today is a dear friend of mine, Pam Giancaspro and her family. Her mother recently had a stroke, and the prognosis is not good at all. People here know Pam's husband Rick as the lead singer for Clutch. He's the bearded guy who sang with Buttercup as the Righteous Brothers. He and Pam mean a great deal to our family.
Now, on to what's going on here in Hell Town. We are now only a couple of weeks away from Christmas, and 3 weeks away from New Year's Day. New Year's will be a wonderful day for Miller County this year from what I'm hearing, hopefully to be followed by an even better day near the end of 2010 when we will HOPEFULLY put some garbage out on the curb for pickup! We have several people who seriously need to go home in 2010 (2 from the county commission and 2 from the BOE), so let's keep our fingers crossed that the people will actually do the right thing and SEND THEM PACKING! Of course, we know Barbie isn't running, since she has already said she wasn't (and we know she would NEVER lie!!!!), so that's a good start.
Speaking of Barbie, I guess you heard Barbie and the Idiots have in effect fired Melanie Diamond as SRO. After sitting there, talking out of one side of their mouths and saying they weren't trying to tell the elected officials who to hire and fire, they turned right around and out of the other side of their mouths cut out the SRO hired by the county! Have they forgotten the tragedies that have occured in other schools? Columbine as an example? Do they want the same thing to happen here? I guess none of them care because most of them don't have children going to school here. God help the children of this county. The "leadership" doesn't give a shit about their safety. I have a feeling the lawsuits are already being written.
That's it for today. Hoping Scanner Lady will come back on the scanner and tell us how she feels about some of these things. I miss hearing from her. Anybody who will tell the truth about the totally incompetent fools we have ruining everything is OK in my book! I am one of her biggest fans (and yes that means in stature as well as admiration LOL).
Will try to do better about updating. Been busy, but since everyone keeps asking me to update I am going to do better. I promise.... I think LOL
Bea Johnson (aka by several as "I wish that Bitch would move already")
Note: I got an email from Barbie, threatening me with a lawsuit earlier today if I didn't take this post down. I did not take it down, but I did edit it. NOT BECAUSE I AM INTIMIDATED IN ANY WAY, but because I refuse to bring myself down to her level. When someone asks me to correct something, I consider it, and if I feel it is a resonable request I will do it. I do not turn it around on the person who asks me to correct something and blame it on that person. I have removed mention of children simply because they cannot be blamed for the actions of their family members, but today's post still has the same meaning behind it. It is still stupid to fire an SRO, especially after saying you were not trying to control the sheriff.
