I don't think the Bay Area will ever run out of Officials that are jerks.

Nice try. If you aren't charged and aren't convicted, there is no background. You think they run a criminal history check and the story is going to show up? And if they call her former employer and they say anything derogatory...another lawsuit. I'm not saying she's wrong or right, but some people need to think about what they say before they open their keyboard. A little common sense goes a long way!

clairecat,
The DA dropped the charge. No Guilt. I am sure Mayor Mc Cheese had somthing to do with this.

The fact of the matter is she stole from Walmart. Some of you have the same problem as half the population. Some of you overlook the obvious. Howard broke the law. Stealing, whether large or small, is still stealing. She got caught and was dealt with accordingly based on her actions. What blows me away is Brookings hired her. Nice background check.

I think Howards case just got stronger with Freeman being fired.

I am just glad she is gone. I don't think she deserves to win a lawsuit. She just seemed to cause a lot of problems while she was here. Good luck to Brookings!

You are right Mr E -we do have enough corrupt, lazy people here. However Janell was not one of them. She was extremely hard working and she exposed the corrupt people you are talking about. Mr. Freeman felt threatened by her so he kicked her to the curb when she was down. Yet everyone blames McKeown for conspiracy...

I agree with Action J. and Mr. E on this. According to Howard everyone else (including Administration, Legal Counsel, Security Guards, Grocery Clerks, Insurance Attorneys, Auditors, and Council) is wrong except her. After three years she has to move on at some point, (and hopefully stays away from here.) Also, hopefully Fred Meyers in Brookings has their security cameras in working order.

Hey"orecoast007", the only reason Wal Mart didn't press charges was the dollar amount that was taken. The best part of it was Ms Howard admitted to taking the items. The bigger issue here is she handled 54 million of tax payers dollars, take your small mind and move to California. Mr Freeman would have been wrong had he kept her on handling the Cities Finances when the woman could not be trusted. Not a real fan of this Cities Politics but the law is the law and facts are facts, this is one time I agree with City Hall.

Janell, Since there were never no charges filed in the Wal Mart incident, Mr. Freeman had no right to fire you. I say "Go get em". Heck, our city council can't even play well together....
