I read her site occasionally, but I just think she is delusional... sorry! I give her credit for trying to dig things up, but doesn't she go way over the line, make huge leaps without facts to back it up.

What do you think?

BT

No need to worry... I only delete things when there are personal attacks and/or profane language.

I read the site 2-3 times per week.  She certainly gets valid information from public records but I sometimes question her conclusions and her "spin" that might make things look a little bit more onerous than their really are.

I checked out her site once.  It is often hard for me to believe someone as a serious journalist when they so clearly state their agenda and reason for being a journalist.  She states that she was wronged by a judge and others and wants to get back at them by exposing them.  It would be different if she was covering somewhere other than where she was allegedly wronged.  I just think that leaves too much open in the way of her spinning her stories to match her cause.  I generally will read anything and then judge for myself.

I never fully believe anything I read without trying to check into the facts

BUT...

She sure got it right about the contracts with Polk Board of Education

Sullins cleaning crew has close ties to our county government and Mark Sullins was at one time a county commissioner....I have had so many teachers approach me latety..wanting me to get the word out about how the schools aren't being cleaned...Polk County had a lower bid with the company in Rome..wasn't long before accusations and allegations started flying..they were booted out and Sullins welcomed in...for 100's of 1000's more per year. Good Ole Boy system alive and well in Polk..I'm glad someone brought it out into the open..unfortunately..not many are listening.

I wish some media would do an investigation into the cleaning practices of Sullins and expose them for their negligence.

I believe in full disclosure....

I do not think I would be a good candidate to investigate this because Sullins cleans our offices here...

However, I do believe it should be checked out.

That would be interesting to say the least!  She has made some pretty serious enemies!

You know, I bet that she's got legal counsel telling her exactly what she can and can't print.  She's using lots of quotation marks where she's directly quoting public records.

I have not read her latest "journalism".  All I know is that if is true, she has nothing to worry about.  If it is false, I don't care what her lawyer says, it is still slander.  I hope she can trust her sources.  If she has the truth, I think she could be doing a service, but if she is just posting lies, I would not go after judges and lawyers.  They bite back.

Well bless her heart, if there's any big people who need bringing down, I hope she or someone else does it and gets away with no shenanigans. I'm all for anyone who goes after corruption. Hey, what ever happened to old George Anderson? He stopped doing stuff locally, did they run him off or something?
