00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,260
Ms. Bridget Thorne?

2
00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:11,740
Hello, everybody.

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,380
Last meeting, you had a discussion on the horrific financial audit report.

4
00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:20,440
It seems you want to give the public a perception that it's all good.

5
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:21,980
It was all COVID-related.

6
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:23,160
We're working on it.

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:23,980
We'll fix things.

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,100
Well, it's not all good.

9
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:29,200
I hope the public reads the actual report.

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,480
There are basic management 101 failures.

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,300
Barron has been here eight years, and he doesn't even have the basics down.

12
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:39,560
This is our tax dollars and your responsibility.

13
00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:43,260
Dr. Ruth, you asked about finding four.

14
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:47,220
Barron was quick to tell you Happy Faces was not involved.

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,380
Well, I was one of the Happy Faces subcontractors that was involved in finding four.

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:54,820
I was there.

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,520
Happy Faces sign-in sheets were by far the longest,

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:05,540
and everyone in the warehouse seemed to know that Happy Faces paid more than corporate temps or the other temp agencies.

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Many people signed in and didn't show up.

20
00:01:09,860 --> 00:01:11,440
That was a big complaint I've had.

21
00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:14,380
Many who showed up didn't work.

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,100
They were out in the loading dock smoking cigarettes.

23
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:19,160
But it's okay.

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,920
Barron was left Dominion fully in charge.

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,080
Is that okay?

26
00:01:24,620 --> 00:01:26,920
He doesn't know who they hired or when they worked.

27
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:33,040
He gave Dominion keys to both warehouses where there were absentee ballots, early voting ballots, and blank ballots.

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,840
You could also print ballots.

29
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:36,080
Not to mention that.

30
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:37,640
I caught people printing ballots.

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,520
So, now Barron wants to hire the elections group to fix this mess.

32
00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:44,380
I noticed how vague he was with all of you in the last meeting.

33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,420
Did you notice how he said the consultant would be working with Eskridge?

34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,860
Eskridge only does absentee ballots.

35
00:01:50,380 --> 00:01:51,640
Ralph Jones, old department.

36
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:54,800
The election groups has been helping at least since August.

37
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,060
What have they done?

38
00:01:56,780 --> 00:01:59,720
Why were they in the warehouse when they're working voter registration?

39
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,120
Who paid for them?

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,340
How is the elections group going to fix financial mismanagement disasters?

41
00:02:05,860 --> 00:02:06,540
They can't.

42
00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:11,880
How is the elections group going to fix the warehousing equipment allocation and inventory management?

43
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,220
They can't.

44
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,760
They don't specialize it, but they do specialize in audits.

45
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,260
Thank you so much, Ms. Thorne.
