County Commissioner Dorrin Rolle for years was the president and CEO of JESCA (The James E. Scott Community Association) making $190,000 a year (see first graphic). He stepped down not long ago under fire. JESCA filed for bankruptcy 8/05/2009 (second graphic).County Commissioner Dorrin Rolle is ALSO a Board member of the Public Health Trust, overseeing Jackson, which is now in financial melt-down mode.
I already wrote about the futility of the County Commission replacing Jackson's Board with yet another Board but the idea won't die. There are 3 proposals to replace the current Board at Jackson with a new Board that will be considered today at the County Commission. In a bizarre twist Dorrin Rolle will be voting to replace himself (for incompetence) since he is on the existing Board. I don't even trust him to do that. It is painfully clear that he is inept at management decisions. Hasn't he done enough damage? Personally, I don't want him voting on anything.
Here is my advice: If you want a good Board: Don't let the County Commission have a vote on the members. All 3 proposals in consideration today have the County Commission appointing some of the members of the NEW Board (the best proposal of the 3 has them them appointing the least).
It is bad enough that Dorrin Rolle has a hand in a $7.4 billion dollar county budget when he can't even get a handle on 2 non-profit, one of which was paying him almost $200,000 a year that it clearly couldn't afford.

There was a great letter to the editor yesterday about this. Rolle is out of control with comments abut skinny minutes, fried chicken and the ubiquitous "You don't good". The guy dresses like a Howard Johnson's(not that this is relevant) and makes Souto look smart at times. I hate to say it, but people in his district complain about not getting their fair share. Perhaps if they elected a better advocate, they would fare better...
The commission should not have any input into the trust; it imploded after they started medling. JMH should be run by medical personnel; doctors, nurses, medical educators, clinical scientists and patient advocates. Toss in a CPA/budget guru and the committee is complete. The commissioners have way too much of a track record of failure when citizen money is involved.
Rolle was paid to run the local charity JESCA. Didn't JESCA bounce 1,000 checks one year? Now bankrupt. Rolle thinks he can manage?
Did anyone else see Rolle driving a $125,000 Mercedes as he was managing his charity into bankruptcy?
