| Commission Chair Steve Bovo, Auditor Kathy jackson and Mayor Gimenez |
The love-fest is in full bloom under the ever UNWATCHFUL eyes of the County Commission.
The Mayor has an auditor that reports to him. Kathy Jackson is her name. She has been doing not much since her Wackenhut Audit in 2008. I wrote at the time:
Kick your Manager Burgess in the butt on this one and ask Cathy Jackson for the final INDEPENDENT audit now almost a year and 9 months over-due. Let's put an end to this scandal and get our hard-earned tax dollars back from Wackenhut.
Except, now she will be doing nothing much for the County Commission because she has also been appointed -- thanks to Chair Steve Bovo -- to be the Commission's auditor.
This is ridiculous. You can't have the same auditor report to the Commissioners and to the Mayor. The motivation is not there to do anything that would hurt either side. Where does her loyalty lie? To the Mayor of course.Cathy Jackson, the county's chief auditor, is a department head under Gimenez, so what the hell are the Commissioners doing giving up their independent watchdog? The Commissioners did have their own independent auditor before this. Are they just stupid or now also part of the Bovo and Gimenez love-fest.

The county commission should cancel all Committee meetings and just meet once a month to approve whatever the mayor wants. Having an employee of the Mayor lead the independent office created by the voters to oversee the administration is just stupid.
Just shut the Office of Commission Auditor down. Waste of $2 Million.
This is another example of county bureaucracy at its worst. An independent auditor is necessary to be the watch dog for the public. There is no justification for this appointment except to hide the facts from the voters.
