What would we do without task forces?

Today's Seattle Times reports: "Task force says trust not yet restored in elections office"

The P-I's report "County election trouble not yet fixed"

The task force is still pushing for a "turnaround team" to take over the Elections section. I support that in principle, but the report I posted yesterday from the Waldron-turnaround-team-in-waiting inspires little confidence in that particular group. The one turnaround team that could inspire more confidence is if we make the county Auditor an elected position and take election adminstration out of Deanron's hands altogether.

1. The public knows a turn-around team won't help. Many of us have sat in on "tiger teams" in the private sector where management gets its feathers in a ruffle about a problem, and hopes that lots of showy meetings and calls to action will solve the crisis.

It does not work that way. The problem is often the management. The best way to solve the problem is to shake things up and fire Dean Logan. It would also help if Ron Sims would simply resign and admit that it is the culture the he has fostered from the top down that has created the poor climate at KCREALS. It was painfully clear during the trial that there is closed door culture of fear at KCREALS.

First step; fire Logan.

2. "Trust not restored in elections office?" Duh!!!! How much were these clowns paid? What will be the next news flash? The earth is round? The whole elections department should be sacked at once.
