Keeping score at Hillsborough's latest taxpayer funded backstabbing match; one CL reader calls Hagan's performance an ineffective bravado with a flaccid finish.
Three of Hillsborough's top employees work to make backstabbing an Olympic sport as taxpayers are stuck paying for their antics. Commissioners had the chance to end this during Wednesday's meeting but despite all the tough talk leading up to the discussion, they did nothing but hire an attorney.

March Madness at the circus
While this has all been very entertaining to watch, there is that little issue of actually running the county which include major budget worries, a rail or should I say transit referendum, and that lawsuit against their fellow Commissioner.

Three rings, three stooges, and one big train wreck!
So now that the train has crashed and burned and all that is left are the charred remains, I think it is important to remember that true leadership would have seen this coming a mile away and done something to avoid it before the explosion. All the signs were there. Commissioner Sharpe saw it and tried to replace Bean but to no avail. Commissioner Ferlita saw it with Barnes but somehow he too was left in his post (although Ms. Frank's office is now paying that price). At this point, I think firing these three is more like emergency triage than leadership. Somebody please stop the bleeding.

Could Hillsborough County saga create momentum for County Mayor proposal?
It's been a long, long road for those who support blowing up the current system of governance in the county, with the county mayor proposal. But as the commission continues to get bogged down in their own issues, the prospect of someone in charge of all of this never seemed so promising.

High and low drama as Hillsborough officials answer back to calls for their termination
Renee Lee then had her attorney, Chinwe O. Fossett, give a verbal smackdown on the board. Fossett said she was offended and disturbed by the call for Lee's firing, saying the board had "no reason to question her integrity." She called previous criticisms of Lee (as well as the FDLE investigation into her getting a 1% pay raise) "irrelevant things based on speculation."

Why is Hillsborough County Auditor Jim Barnes being asked to resign?
There is no question that Barnes work performance has been severely criticized by commissioners over the past couple of years, with none more vocal than Rose Ferlita. Barnes was the subject of a blistering report by Orlando's auditor just a couple of weeks ago that said that his performance "does not conform to professional standards." But in this latest imbroglio, Barnes seems from the surface to have not done anything wrong. But maybe we're missing something.
