Terence Murphy, Chief of Staff to the ever Vile Natacha Seijas, made $139,724 in 2008. I found this bio of him in a google search. Note how he fudges his job description...almost as if he is embarrassed by what he actually does. It is okay Terry, I would want to be The Senior Policy Advisor to the Chair of the Government Operations and Environment Committee rather than Natacha’s chief flunky.P.S. The vile one is off to Brazil - on our dime for a 'trade' mission - the day after the budget hearings. If they run over, she might not get to vote on the budget. That would be good, maybe we can dump some of her fav projects.

If this group has any credibility they never would have allowed Terry to be involved with their organization. Thibk about it-Natacha and ethical are Polar opposites!
So you are going to trash Terry Murphy without even knowing him just because he works for Natacha? I know Terry. He is one of a small group who has a deep understanding of the county government (especially the budget) but is not beholden to the administration. You got this one wrong.
Exactly where is the trash talk reader...The blog is the truth. Look up the word FLUNKY -- I did before I wrote it. It is accurate.
Though I am impressed you used a dictionary in advance, I doubt most people would use the term without meaning it in a disparaging (i.e. trashtalking) way. My point is that Terry is a good guy who happens to work for a real pain in the neck. Guilt by association is an ugly thing.
I agree about Terry, he is a good guy.
Terry is not a good guy. I have been personally threatened by Terry over what he thought was a lack of "adequate" recognition for Seijas. I can't even give specifics for fear of further reprisals given that he specifically threatened to withhold county funding. He is neither "good", nor "honest".
And this is just what I have directly experienced, I've also heard from MANY county staff of his use of intimidation, fear, and threats to get what he wants.
He doesn't even use county email and he misleads in his title when he calls and emails people. Sketchy!!!
Murphy is well known as the cagiest operator in the county. Aside from making department heads squirm, he knows where the political debts, IOU's and political bodies are buried going way, way back. All the airport, port, the Latin Builders, you name it. Now he's trying to distance himself from Seijas? That deserves its own laugh track!
If Terry Murphy was so good he would refuse to work for vile Natacha.
I have known Terry for years. He is cunning and smart but never ethical and fair. I have heard him lie to voters while campaigning for Seijas (to keep his job, obviously). He is her goon. Intimidation is his style. Terry and Seijas are peas in a pod. They stay together because she pays him well, she can't be as vile without him and his reputation is so bad no one else in the county would have him. Terry will tumble, although with a big retirement, when she is no longer a commissioner.
I knew him a long time ago.
That Terry was funny and musically talented.
I don't know who this Terry is. :(
This Terry needs an ethics lesson.
What happens with Terry unlike other county employees is that he does not let anyone bu-- Sh-- him around with misleading information. Geniusofdespair, is this your real job what about you what do you do for a living maybe your not that Genius at all.
Of course I am not a genius, except on despair. I don't have a real job because as one reader said of me: All I do is sit in my mother's basement all day on the computer. However that is not totally accurate: I do go upstairs to eat. However, what does my job have to do with Natacha Seijas' tyrannical behavior or Terry helping her to carry it out?
Terry previously worked for Larry Hawkins, who has the distinction of the being the last incumbent commissioner to actually lose to a fresh face (Katy Sorenson). Of course, Hawkins' allocating money to the March of Dimes, which paid his salary, and offering wheelchair rides on his lap to attractive female county employees had something to do with his ouster.
The point about Hawkins is that Murphy learned at his shoulder, how to play the game. And he's been doing it for Natacha all these years. Cute bio, too, omitting the details.
Murphy turned to the dark side a long time ago. He lives in a bubble where he thinks Natasha is a good leader and the lobbyists she keeps in business are upstanding character. Its too bad, he used to be a very nice guy.
Hell, he may still be a nice guy, I just cant look through the dark cloud that surrounds him now.
