Say It Ain't So !!!!!

Please, someone tell me that the county has not purchased a vehicle for Mr. Strickland the Courthouse Custodian. Tell me this vehicle wasn't purchased without the bid process being followed. Tell me that this wasn't done without the County Commissioners knowledge and approval. Tell me the County is not buying the gas for this vehicle. Tell me the Courthouse with it's leaking faucets and continually running toilets has reached a state of repair that Mr. Strickland's time can be better spent riding around town, delivering mail, meals and visiting the bench at Wal-Mart. What no one can tell me those things, shocking.
