New Coroner/ New Truck?

Someone called me the other day and asked me if I had seen the article in The Flume about the new Coroner getting a brand new truck as he starts his term. Has anyone read the article?
If it is true....isn't that completely against the platform he ran on? I am gonna have go back and watch those videos but I am pretty disappointed that our new Coroner would break his promises so soon in the game. Not surprised but disappointed.
This county must be made of money.

Yes, he asked for a new truck....look towards the bottom of this article. All in...about $ 50K for a new truck. How many dead bodies are there in Park County per year that require the coroner to examine? Sounds like Park County would be better off offering a car allowance.

Perhaps, it is because the outgoing coroner, Sharon Morris, ran up serious mileage on her vehicle with all the trips out of state?

Did she teach her protege' the same?

I was completely dissapointed when reading the lengthy article too, keeping in mind his campaign strategy. I think he also requested a "part-time" employee to assist him on ALL these deaths in Park County. (I think there are probably maybe 5-8 per year)To me it sounds like he will be continuing with his other business to require an employee?? And I'm positive that truck will be used for his other business, just as we have deputies commuting way out of County with our vehicles....You know darn well he will be requesting an increase in pay real soon. In the article it explains in great detail about this "over-the-top" coroner truck, then it gets to the part of "approval" from the Commissioners, and of course no argument what so ever from them.... approved!!!

I don't know what these people are thinking, we're a bottomless pit of money? We can't meet our payment on the Jail each month, BUT, they want a $2.4 million dollar comm. center going to extremes of "where to borrow the money", they want 5 new cars, now they're giving Kintz whatever he wants..... Seems every week we're reading about another business shutting down in Park County, the foreclosure rate is increasing, unemployment up, people leaving Park County.... I don't get it...

Oh, you get it. It is business as usual!

They can do all that, but the so called promise of giving our Park County Service Officer a raise must have "SLIPPED" thier minds.

What a bunch of scoop shovels.
Texas is looking better and better every day.
Heck....these guys are about as shifty as Texas 's neighbor to the east.

Too many Cockroaches.

JUNE 11, 2011 is a better alternative to moving out of Park County.

8 dead bodies per year? ParkCO should pay the Coroner by the body...say $ 1500 per body includes mileage...it's cheaper.
