The latest on Orlando Boy: tyin’ up loose ends

Team Fuentes: Dave Lang, John Williams, Tom Fuentes -- aka "the Beelzebublians"
     Former Trustee John Williams isn't gone yet. A few minutes ago, the OC Reg’s Kimberly Edds posted the following:

Quisling Dave
$15k more requested to look into Public Guardian (Total Buzz)
The county’s chief executive wants to spend another $15,000 to wrap up its investigation into allegations of mismanagement by Public Administrator/Public Guardian John S. Williams. The investigation, which remains confidential under attorney-client privilege, has already resulted in demands Williams resign, the splitting of the two departments, and the removal of Assistant Public Administrator/Public Guardian [and OC DA fiance] Peggi Buff.
. . .
Orlando bound!
The law firm of Colantuono & Levin was hired by the county for $40,000 in November to look into a series of accusations against the Public Administrator/Public Guardian. Now the county wants to throw in some more money – $15,000 to be exact – to tie up a few loose ends and fund any necessary follow-up services, according to a staff report. Williams is both the elected public administrator and the appointed public guardian. The county spent weeks trying to negotiate Williams’ early exit from office, but calls for his immediate resignation went unheeded. He remains the county’s elected public administrator, a position the board cannot take from him and one he says he will hold until he retires Jan. 23, 2012….
     Loose ends, eh? Pretty tantalizing, if you ask me.
     The County surely ought to have a clear picture of just what Williams has been up to. If it’ll take another $15k, then it’s money well spent.
     And then surely the public should be able to see the facts for themselves. All of 'em.

I just want to thank you for the many laughs you've provided me with your fantastic graphics: "Backstabbing for Beginners," the cats playing ping-pong, the mirror with Devil looking back.... You crank them out like nobody's business, and they're brilliant, BvT!

You deserve far more credit. I think that people are so used to these treasures that they take 'em for granted. But I don't.

Genius!!!
