Hillsborough County-YEAR-END REVIEW by Marilyn Smith.

GRANDMOTHER-AT-LARGE MARILYN SMITH.
NOW, THIS IS THE YEAR-END REVIEW, AND IT AIN'T PRETTY.
YOUR ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE SOME HORRIBLE ERRORS AND MISTAKES AND MISJUDGMENTS AND I THINK BORDERLINE CRIMINALITY.
YOU KNOW, YOU CUT THE BUDGET OF THE TV PEOPLE, PUBLIC ACCESS.
WAS IT THE PLAN?
YOU DIDN'T KNOW THE PLAN.
WE ARE BUILDING AN EMPIRE OVER AT COMMUNICATIONS.
THEY MAY BE THE BIGGEST, BUT THEY AIN'T THE BEST.
THAT'S A PROBLEM.
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT POLICING YOUR OWN PEOPLE.
YOU EXPECT WALLY TO LOOK AT WALLY?
AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.
WALLY'S A BIG PROBLEM.
YOU THINK WALLY IS GOING TO CHASTISE HIMSELF?
DON'T THINK SO.
MS. LEE, YOU NEED TO FIND OUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AFFORDABLE HOUSING, REHAB, AND CODE.
THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING.
THAT WOMAN WAS TALKING ABOUT REHAB AND DEXTER BARGE, NOT HAPPY HOWIE.
NOW, WE HAVE HAD THINGS DURING THE YEAR -- YOU GUYS -- YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THEY DO THEIR BEST TO KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOU.
MADE-UP INFORMATION DETRIMENTAL TO A HUMAN BEING AND PUT INTO THEIR FILE SO THEN THEY CAN USE IT TO GET RID OF YOU.
THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES IN ANYBODY'S BOOK, EVEN IF YOU WORK FOR THIS COUNTY, WHICH IS A STEP AWAY, YOU THINK, FROM SELLING MY PEOPLE, MY PEOPLE BEING NOT CHATTEL.
THEY ARE NOT TO BE SOLD SO YOU-ALL CAN MAKE SOME MONEY ON THEM.
YOU-ALL -- YOU ARE THE ELECTED PEOPLE, SO I CAN SAY THAT, YOU-ALL.
AS FAR AS OUR ATTORNEY IS CONCERNED RIGHT NOW, I HAVE SEEN US WITH MORE TALENTED PEOPLE.
I HAVE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME.
DON'T GET A LOOK ON YOUR FACE LIKE THAT.
WE'RE PAYING FOR THEM, HAGAN.
THEY AIN'T DOING THAT GREAT OF A JOB.
THEY'VE GOTTEN US INTO TROUBLE.
WE'RE IN A SUIT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF WALLY AND ONE OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEYS.
I HAVE SEEN LUHO GO AWRY AND BE CORRECTED QUICKLY.
NOW WE HAVE AN UNMITIGATED MESS.
WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTING AS ZONING OFFICERS WHO ARE OUT THERE IN THE PUBLIC WITH THEIR OWN LITTLE COMPANIES BREAKING OUR RULES, AND YET WE PAY THEM TO BE A ZONING MASTER OR ZONING HEARING MASTER?
>>KEN HAGAN: 30 SECONDS, MARILYN.
>> WRONG.
THERE'S MORE AND MORE THAN I CAN POSSIBLY GO OVER, BUT THIS IS NOT A STAR STELLAR YEAR, AND I DON'T CARE HOW MANY TIMES YOUR COUNTY COMMISSIONER SAYS TO YOU, OH, WE'RE THE BEST COUNTY, WE ARE NOT.
WE ARE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY.
WE ARE EMPIRE BUILDING FOR CERTAIN AREAS AND KILLING OFF OTHERS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GO ALONG WITH OUR GAME PLAN.
WE NEED A LOT OF WORK HERE.
PROBABLY THE FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO IS REPLACE SOMEBODY THAT YOU JUST SAID, HEY, GO AHEAD AND SCREW US AROUND FOR TWO MORE YEARS, BEING YOUR COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR.
SHE AIN'T DOING A GOOD JOB.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM IN HER.
THANK YOU.
