Is the District Attorney General Swinging too Far the Other Way?

Jimmy doing so only Shows you will welcome Jury Bias!

2-28-08

With another Grand Jury convening March 10, 11. and 12, 2208, Seviercorruption.com wonders if there will be any private citizens request to appear before the Grand Jury.  But we wonder much more about what type of process is to be followed in areas which are not clearly laid out in the Code? 

The Code allows for any Citizen to appear before the Grand Jury.  Grand Jury proceedings are to be secret.  The secrecy is put in place for a variety of reasons.  First, it protects the witness' who must continue to live in the Community assuring anamimnaty in the event that the Grand Jury feels that the allegations do not rise to a level warranting indictment.  People are much more open to tell what they know if they know that their testimony is and can be in confidence.  In confidence that first their testimony will be taken seriously, then the weight of the issues will be given the gravity they deserve. 

Case in point;  We should take allegations of public corruption very seriously.  For a Grand Jury to not take the time to fully investigate allegations of public corruption when the Courthouse if full of incriminating supporting evidence that will support the allegations being brought forward would be a miscarriage of the process.  However last month persons wishing to appear had their rights sabotaged by the very office in charge of assuring that the appearance was one surrounded with the integrity and protection of the Law.

Seviercorruption.com has already heard that there very well may be persons who wish to appear before the Grand Jury again this time.  We have also heard that they intend to bring charges of public corruption to the attention of the Grand Jury foreman and two other members which are selected by the person making appearance, as outlined in the law.  General Dunn is on record and recorded saying that the process would be followed.  But how will the person appearing canvas the jurors to decide who to pick?  General Dunn is also on record saying that if the person choosing wished, for and knew a juror that they could pick that Member.  But wait, is that a fair process?  Would a persons friend not be biased?  We think it is HIGHLY improper for any type of predjeious to bias the jurors!  What is General Dunn thinking?  Would he allow the pool to be biased the way in advantage of the public official?  Would he even work to see that the Jury pool only consisted of persons who would be less than accommodating to complaints against their own family members?  Thus biasing the pool where no indictment could possibly be handed down.  That is the way things seem to be in all other public over site positions of authority?

Will the General want the names in a Hat for any citizen to choose those he feels comfortable with?  Come on General Dunn, the people of Sevier County deserve you to perform your duties in a manner that assures that the issues of pubic corruption being brought forward are just not taken in an effort only to give the right to appear before Grand Jury, but your office should have already been investigating many of the issues that have been addressed and be presenting for indictment yourself.

Do you think it right that the County Mayor has used the County facilities and labor force for the personal benefit?  How could you hold that view, take no actions and then suggest that you would allow a biased process to be undertaken in the process of appearing before the Grand Jury?  Swinging to the side of the person who may wish to appear allowing them to a potential bias is wrong, but it does show how you are presently conducting your functions for your district.  Are you in deeper than we thought because of protecting the Former District Attorney "GENERAL". 

If any of you really want to help see that a fair chance is given to those who may choose to appear before the Grand Jury, please call District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn's office requesting the following;

Please call for an Attorney Generals Opinion on these questions General Dunn;

Question;

Is it proper for a person who appears who appears before the Grand Jury under T.C.A.  40-12-104 and the Tennessee Criminal Code of Procedure to know members of the Jury to whom he makes testimony?

Question; 

Is it proper for the District Attorney's Office to allow the Grand Jury the right to create additional requirements for appearing before the Grand Jury other than those outlined in T.C.A. 40-12-104?

When will Jimmy Dunn stop making up rules and find out answers?  Maybe he follows the "laws as he knows them" too?

Larry's Happy Bailiff Button Finger

 "Tell em I'm out of the Office Curtis"

Gestop I don't Know What to Do so I'll just Hide

2-27-08

Seviercorruption.com is hearing that Lying Larry is accusing anyone who asks him a question about his conduct of trying to destroy him.  As it becomes clear to more and more Citizens that their County Commissioners will not assist them in looking into the under the table deals and goings on at the Courthouse, Lying Larry is refusing to answer questions at the County Commission meetings when he is asked about issues from members of the public.  Instead, he cuts them off before their time is over and can only muster a dumb look as he pounds the gavel.  Did the cat get Lying Larry's tongue and put it in Jetties shoe.

It sure is good that when a citizen drops in to see Lying Larry, he will take the time to try to address their issues one on one where he can make up whatever he wishes to say.  All in an effort to make it look like he has some sort of Clue about what is going on when really he never has.  The one thing that Lying Larry has become very skilled at it pushing the Bailiff Button.  You see, installed in Lying Larry's office is a button that when pushed summons every Bailiff in the Courthouse to rescue Lying Larry from the web of deceit he just spun and can't seem to get himself out of.  Its a good thing Lying Larry has that button too.  We have heard some people say that if they had the chance that their knuckles would look like they had been working on a tractor all day after leaving his office hearing the Lies he spumes.

Soon the only place to ask our Lying Mayor Larry questions may be by dropping into his office unannounced.  Seviercorruption.com has received an email that suggests that the rules committee has given Lying Larry the right to pre screen speakers that wish to appear at County Commission Meetings.  Little Lying Larry Hitler's Gestap-I-don't-no what to do to keep this stuff from coming out public has hit a wall. Looks like he may only wish to have Executive Session meeting for County Commission too.  We know he can do that under the law as he knows it.  Unfortunately what he is trying to do in both cases is illegal under the Laws of the State of Tennessee.  Go ahead Lying Larry, dig that hole a little deeper!

Last week a citizen had an impromptu meeting with Lying Larry and his side kick Kung Fu Curtis.  Seviercorruption.com just heard that Vice Mayor Curtis has enrolled in Kung Fu classes to try to get his nervous disorder in check.  If you saw Curtis at the first Ethics Committee Meeting, you know what a lethal weapon Kung Fu Curtis really is when he gets to shaking.  Anyway back to the episode with the Citizen and the meeting in Lying Larry's office.  This Citizen reports that when he started asking questions about Grants, Lying Larry and his side kick laid the blame off on the Department Heads of the County for not making application for said Grants.

What about the Grant the Steve Layman was trying to get for upgrading the food for the youth detention center.  Seviercorruption.com has heard that our fine Sheriff Seals only wanted the youth detention center to have that good Lintner food.  But that was back when we had a master embessler in charge of making purchases for the Jail Kitchen.  Now that Don Parton is holding down his third job taking Lintners place as Kitchen Manager, maybe the Sheriff will reconsider not allowing that grant to be applied for now.  Unfortunately, we at Seviercorruption.com have heard the real reason that Lying Larry will not allow any grants to be received by the County is because he is on record saying, "the county doesn't apply for grants because people would then "come in and want to look over our shoulders.""

Get real Lying Larry.  Under your administration there is no one in charge of the grant application process. No such position as a grants administrator who is charged with maximizing county revenues via all available grants even exists and you are so incompetent that you believe the way to cover having your Uncle's and Children's cars painted at the County Garage is to show a copy of a canceled check where you say you reimbursed the County.

As we see it, you just showed the proof that you broke the Law and should be in Jail.  Did you know that their are laws that prevent you from doing such things.  Oh sorry we let a little stupid show, you only follow the law "as you know them."

 Sure We Will Watch that Video

Surrender, we've got a Report on File 

2-26-08

Seviercorruption.com has heard about another one of Hossie's Defective Division's latest attempt to snow the public into thinking they are able to do their jobs. Unfortunately, a thief in the Kodak area has yet to surrender as getting criminals to surrender is the best our County Defectives seem to be able to do.  Even if they are given a chance to have a video of thief, they refuse to follow up on the lead.  Nap time must be more important.

On February 10, 2008 a man who has moved to the area and is finishing his own new home had a tandem axle 16' car trailer stolen from the Kodak job site. He filed a police report with the Sevier County Sheriff's Office Defective Division and, at the time told the officers he had a neighbor with a surveillance camera that could possibly have caught a video of the crime. The man didn't know the neighbor's name, but provided the address to the Defectives. In turn the victim was assured that the Sheriff's Department would attempt to obtaining a possible video of the theft by checking with the mans neighbor.

The victim followed up on the investigation and tried to talk to the Defectives yesterday, but received no reply regarding if they had obtained a copy of the video from his neighbor. Later in the day the victim of the trailer theft was able to talk to the camera owner for the first time and inquired if the Defective had contacted him. To his dismay he found that not only had the Defective not contacted him, it was unlikely that they ever would. Seems as though the man who owned the video servalance equipment had been falsely arrested some time back by Sergeant J J Breeden, who later admitted that the mans arrest was a mistake (on record). Seems as though Officer Breeden, at one time had begun a break-in report for this neighbor who had the video cameras, but refused to finish the paperwork. When victim of the false report started bringing out corruption within the Sheriff's department ( doctored documents, drug money disappearing during busts,etc) and he found himself in the middle of an attempt by two TOP DEFECTIVES to be set up by an inmate. How did that set up work out for you Hossie? We know! You just gotta love politics.

The trailer victim was given little hope by his neighbor of any Defectives in this county re-uniting him with his property unless the thief surrendered willingly. The neighbor also advised the victim of the trailer theft that it might be better for the him in the long run to keep quiet and let this issue rest because if he calls the Sheriff's Department to much they might arrest him for harassment or drum up false charges against the man for making them look bad because their inability to do their job was being exposed. He was also warned that if he continues to make issue of this crime that Sheriff Seals would not be below getting a restraining order against him like they did the neighbor with the video equipment to prevent him from reporting any future crimes.

By the way Hossie, have you deputized the "Mustang Man" or is he working undercover? You need to tell him the grapevine in Kodak is VERY SHORT and to make sure his house (or cross country car hauler) is clean before he continues to encourage road officers to cause his former buddy problems. He might want to ask Randy Parton and Matthew Cobberly how their attempts to set the man up worked out for them. By the way Hossie, how many times has your influence kept Chicken's buddy "Mustang Jr" out of trouble? No matter how many material goods you inherit, common sense is something you must be born with, Stupid is as Stupid does and we know "Forrest Gump" is your idol. It might even help you to come to your senses when you have been supporting a crooked politician. But that takes us back to Good Ole Forrest and we know by looking you, that you stay in the chocolates too much. Got sticky fingers, Hossie?

In closing Seviercorruption.com is happy to hear that we are getting rave reviews from the honest employees from around the County who serve the people well.  It has been reported to us that those fine people are the best advertisement we can have, printing out copies of our web site and passing it along to those who do not have access to the Internet.

Do you really think that the Sheriff and the D.A. will be successful in shutting down freedom of the press and freedom of speech?  We hope that they try, as doing so will bring a bigger spotlight to the real issues that need to be addressed.   Only in the "Nation of Sevier."  Osama Bin Waters and his band of evildoers..... Tune in next time for more of, "As the Waters Runs."

Dumpster Cop Flips  Lid, Loses Load

Is Uncle Jack in Private Garbage Collection Business

 2=24-08

Some people just can't take it.  Seviercorruption.com thinks if you can't take a joke... oh well!  When you sleep with a dog your going to get a flea.  If these Good Ole Boy public officials would follow the law, uphold the oath of office that they took, Seviercorruption.com would not have very much to report.  But as long as they choose to line their pockets at the taxpayers expense, we are glad that we can bring you the bottom line on their misdeeds.

First we need to make a correction.  In the article below, we said that Uncle Jack and the Dumpster Cop are watching Soap Operas.  We were wrong.  The start the day with Jerry Springer and when it goes off, we hear that they start counting the income from the prior day that they have made from private garbage collection in the County.

Looks like the Waters enterprise is alive and well and have even found a new way to turn a buck.  Residents in the County either have to carry their trash to a collection center, or rely on a private company to collect it at their home.  Yep it a big stinky money making scam that those who use their position in public office have found out how to use once again for personal gain.  If your in the private garbage collection business but not in the clique at the landfill, you must go weigh your trash then haul it to where you are told to unload.  But the enterprising Good Ole Boys who run their own business have placed dumpster's behind Uncle Jacks office so they can avoid having to pay the fees to unload.  Talk about getting us coming and going!

Seviercorruption.com has also heard that until a couple of days ago after we broke the story about Uncle Jack getting his Ride Pimped (Article Below), the Good Ole Boys at the County Garage did not have a clue about Seviercorruption.com.  Someone now has apparently let them know about web site down at the Garage.  As we understand it, the dumpster cop flipped, Uncle Jack filled his pants and now is trying to get Lying Larry to get them a computer and Internet access so they too can keep up with what Severcorruption.com reports.  Our reader list continues to grow.

Its easy to stop this news from getting out boys.  Just stop taking advantage of the taxpayers, pay your due to society and after you have done your time, we will let you back in although you will no longer have the right to vote.  And when we do get you in the crossbar hotel, we can start having fair and honest elections.  Just imagine, if all of the people who have moved into Sevier County have their votes counted for the candidate they really voted for, you Good Ole Boys are done once and for all.

Its like that Good Ole Boy asked me as we were talking about removal of the County's Electronic Voting Machines;  Why do you want all of these outsiders to Control our County, you were born and raised here?  I replied, you have answered your own question and just admitted if we have honest elections, the Good Ole Boys are done!

Jack are you as proud of that truck now as you were before we the taxpayers gained a vested interest in it?  And while your at it, maybe that feller who keeps the Satellite Card fixed so you boys can watch all that filth as pirates of the airwaves can find a way fer you boys to get high speed Internet free too!  Arrr!  Lets us see them T. V. programing invoices.

"Maybe Uncle Jack's not the sharpest tool in the shed after all."  If that Dumpster policeman gets called as witness when the Federal Agents come, what will he say about the paint job us fine taxpayers gave your truck?

What time does the bar be open for happy hour?  Its 5 oclock somewhere.

 Lil Freddie Atchley, Where Are You

 

How many Commissioners Have County Jobs, or make Sure Their Family Members Do.

 2-23-08 2:00 P.M.

*Extra*

Looks like the more that is exposed, the more we learn.  Not only does Commissioner Lil Freddie hold more than one pulicly paid position, it has been reported to us that his wife, Mrs. Lil Freddie Henderson-Atchley, is chief Deputy Clerk and Master of the Chancery Court.  According to the 2006 Audit, Mrs. Lil Freddie takes home as much as $38,886.00.  Who cares who that Bridge is named after?  How many more public jobs can they hold?  

2-22-08

Starting today and periodically hereafter we will be reporting on who employs our County Commissioners.  Talk about conflicts of interest.  From what we hear, clearly the majority of our County Commissioners hold jobs or obtain personal family financial benefit from the County.

Today we start with Fred Atchley.  We have been told that Lil Freddie is one of the Sheriff's Department finest.  Imagine that, another Hossie employee who gets lead by the Sheriff in his decisions for his jobs sake.  We also hear that Lil Freddie works at the Fire Department for the City of Sevierville.  Wow, where have we heard of a public figure holding two public employment jobs?  Oh yea, we broke the news about Dandy Don (clock me in dad) Parton working at the School System and at the Sheriff's Department.

We hear that Lil Freddie is the Sheriff's Department Arson investigator.  Holding this position that we hear pays around 40 Thousand Dollars a year allows Lil Freddie to work at his other Job for the City of Sevierville.  Now, don't even think that this cushie job for the Sheriff is Lying Larry's way to pay off Lil Freddie for his votes!  Why, we hear that when a suspected arson fire occurs, Lil Freddie is the first to say; "Rope it off boys, I will get there when I can."  Even if that is a few days later.  Because of all the hard work and immediate attention the Job of arson investigator requires we hear that Lil Freddie is getting him some help. It has been reported to us that Sgt. J.J. Breedin, who we understand has admitted to his involvement in filing false reports which have lead to false arrest, is being trained either to replace Lil Freddie or be on call to assist Lil Freddie when he has important things like taking a nap come up preventing him from going on the call.  Now if Breedin takes a arson call we would advise you not to stop and become a spectator of the fire, you may be his next drug out of bed and arrested false report victim so he can report to the Sheriff, case solved.

Lil Freddie, with them voting machines we got, they may be training J.J. to take over your seat on County Commission.  Don't forget Hossie chewed you out for the nap you took that prevented you from investigating the Travis Towing fire.  

As mentioned above, a few weeks ago there was a Fire at Travis Towing.  Arson was suspected so Lil Freddie was called to come investigate.  He was in such a hurry to get there, it is reported his other job prevented him from making an appearance and Detective Mark Turner was assigned the duty to make the report, much to the dismay to the shift Sgt. Darrel Lee, former County Commissioner himself.  Although the fire has been reported to have been arson, the Mountain Press once again must feel that the Citizens of Sevier County need not know of this Crime and the debacle of its investigation, as they have failed to report its occurrence.  Wonder if the Arsonist has surrendered their self yet.  After all that is how our fine Defective Division works under the control of Sheriff Seals.

Lil Freddies failure to make a showing at the crime scene leaves Seviercorruption.com wondering, are we getting our 40 Thousand worth?  Oh but wait, that money is paid to Lil Freddie for his support of Lying Larry, not for his investigative powers.  Maybe Lil Freddie needs to be Dog Catcher Phil Kings understudy.  It might be a pay cut, but it is the practice of our County to Employee persons not qualified for the position.

Lil Freddie fits right in, for now anyway. 

   

Stans Follies at the Lodge

Nice Lipstick there Stan

Did the Mountain Press let Ferrit write the Editoral

2-21-08

Stan Voit and the crew at the Mountain Press just can't seem to get it right.  The other day in an Editorial, the Press sugar coated Mayor Lying Larry's pandering of business into his wife's and (Old Head) Brother-in-Laws printing business.  The press only wants to report facts "as they know them" or wants you to believe. 

Seviercorruption.com has in the past posted an Attorney Generals opinion showing that public officials can not give business to a spouse's business.  But the Mountain Press just does not want to report that preferring to say that Lying Larry should consider doing away with the use of Crescent Printing to avoid it being an issue.  Why does the Mountain Press want to put this slant on the Lying Larry's illegal practice?  What does the County and Lying Larry have to hold over the Papers head that makes them not want to come clean about the real content of the law.

Below we provide our readers with a portion of the Tennessee Code Annotated.  It is so easy to read and understand that we know our readers can comprehend its intent.

5-14-114. Conflicts of interest — Illegal payments. —

(a) Neither the county purchasing agent, nor members of the county purchasing commission, nor members of the county legislative body, nor other officials of the county, shall be financially interested, or have any personal beneficial interest, either directly or indirectly, in any contract or purchase order for any supplies, materials, equipment or contractual services used by or furnished to any department or agency of the county government.

(b) Nor shall any such persons accept or receive, directly or indirectly, from any person, firm or corporation to which any contract or purchase order may be awarded, by rebate, gift or otherwise, any money or anything of value whatsoever, or any promise, obligation or contract for future reward or compensation.

(c) A violation of this section is a Class D felony.

[Acts 1957, ch. 312, § 10; impl. am. Acts 1978, ch. 934, §§ 7, 36; T.C.A., § 5-1414; Acts 1989, ch. 591, § 18.]

Lying Larry should be put in Jail.  What more proof do we need than what is posted on Seviercorruption.com.  Stop making stuff up Stan.  Report the facts.  Although we do like showing you the truth, it would be nice if you would stop misleading the public with your opinion.

With our readership growing close to 800 per day, will one of you please make sure Stan Voit at the Mountain Press gets a tip to come read what the Tennessee Law really says about Lying Larry's antics with his wife's printing company? 

Seviercorruption.com noticed that a short article did appear in today's Mountain Press about a Mayor from another Tennessee area who was arrested by the T.B.I. for taking advantage of his position by using public funds for personal reasons.  That Story indicated that the District Attorney for that location had requested the T.B.I. to investigate.  Hey, thats a good Idea, do you think Jimmy Dunn would make a request of the T.B.I to come to Sevier County? 

Seviercorruption.com has spoken with Dan Ogle, Special Agent of the T.B.I. for this area and although by Tennessee Code the T.B.I. has original jurisdiction over public corruption, without any request being made of them, Agent Ogle will not open up a file unless requested to do so.

Because of District Attorney, Jimmy Dunn's affiliation with the Bargain Barn in Newport where the Convicted Felon Paul Lintner took a large portion of the Sevier County Jail Kitchen business, Seviercorruption.com does not believe that Good Ole Boy Jimmy will be asking the T.B.I. to come investigate.  After all, he may just be asking for an investigation that would in all likely hood wind up implicating himself.

Looks like it will be up to Federal Authorities.  Hope they get here soon!

Pimp My Ride, Nephew Larry!

 
 Just in, Extra help at County Garage 

2-21-08

We have just heard that we have a New Low cost Car Wash in the County. Looks like trustees are being routinely sent to the County Garage.  Not to worry though, they are being supervised by a County Constable who also patrols as a dumpster policeman making sure the trash don't get out of hand.  That is when he and Jack take time off from watching Soap Operas.  Thanks for providing the hands for the daily truck washes for Uncle Jack, Hossie.  So, If you got a relative on County Commission, give them a call and see if you can run your car on by for an afternoon warsing. 

We are starting to figure these Good Ole Boy Politics out!  Where's the leak?

 2-20-08 Special PM edition.

We at Seviercorruption.com have been made aware of another interesting issues involving Mayor Lying Larry Waters  his benifit of his family, and his following the laws "as he knows them". Mayor Waters' Uncle, Jack Waters, is head of the garage at the Sevier County Solid Waste Authority. Working for the Solid Waste Authority it is estimated that he earns over $20.00 per hour. It is said that Jack is around 70 years old, never takes time off nor does he take a vacation because he fears it would become obvious that he does nothing and the job could be eliminated. We have also heard that Jack and our late Sheriff Bruce Montgomery devised a plan for an inmate to benefit themselves some time ago. The Sheriff Montgomery needed some buses painted for jurors to ride in. He also needed a meth lab task force bus painted as well that could be useless sitting at the jail after the work was finished, but it would look good to the tourists passing by giving the appearance that we are on top of the County Drug Problem.

An inmate was given trustee status and was provided a camping trailer (FEMA mobile command post, make sure you see the FEMA article posted earlier) behind the Solid Waste garage as living quarters rather than having to stay at the jail, for his silence and cooperation. After completing the deal with the Sheriff to trade days in jail for days on the job (COMPLETE WITH A PAYCHECK AS WE UNDERSTAND; YEP THAT IS RIGHT WE PAY CONVICTS), Jack Waters saw an opportunity for potential personal gain from this inmate, so we hear he gave him a full-time job as dumpster painter in a painting bay that was built without regard to EPA standards.

You see we hear that Jack had traded his 1990's Chevy truck in on a new model. But he missed the old truck, tracked it down, and bought it back. Looks like after Good Ole' Jack bought his baby back, that the earlier decision to build a paint booth for the dumpster's turned into a paint booth large enough in size to accommodate several of the Waters' family vehicles for a new dip of color one at a time. Not only does it seem as though Uncle Jack got his new paint job(quite extensive covered below), but Mayor Lying Larry's own son's Land Rover got a new coat of black and his daughter's Explorer even got a new skin of red courtesy of T & E Paint Supply and the fine taxpayers of Sevier County.

Oh, we also hear that the Land Rover had it's transmission issues remedy also.

Now back to Uncle Jack; It looks as though the former inmate who had done such a great job was at the beck and call of the Waters family as Jack's Chevy was given the royal treatment. It took the painter about two months of dis-assembly, sanding and painting to give the burgundy truck it's slick appearance. Evidently Jack was so impressed by the paint job, he thought his old ride deserved even more. The even more escalated into a brand new GM crate engine, new transmission, chrome trim, carpets, and all the other bells and whistles Jack's nephew's county could afford using County labor. Since Jack had assisted  a certain Ms. Lisa Baxter (as we understand county human resource and payroll employee at the time, and the ex-wife of SCSD Chief Earl "Feathers" Clinton) in obtaining a set of tires for her fine ride, he felt his pride and joy deserved TWO sets of wheels and tires to be on the safe side......... being the case that while the county was being so generous and all...

Jack has since been observed being so proud of his restored ride, we hear he only puts county -paid -for and approved fuel in the tank.

A small article in The Knoxville Journal appeared a few months ago, telling the story of Jack and his pride and joy, but he didn't take it well. He ran around both county garages, showing the article, and saying "they are not going to make ME quit MY job!!" all the while thinking Lying Larry won't let them.

Well Jack, seeing as how the right people seem to have some interesting paperwork on your ride, a job may be the least of your worries. Unless maybe your nephew Mayor Lying Larry Waters can get cousin-county-attorney Jerry McCarter to get the men at CTAS to say it's OK.

At least for the time being, that is. But what does is mean???????? Like Hossie says; "Stupid is as Stupid does" you think he came up with that all by himself?

Thanks fir joinin us as the Waters runs!!!

                                             

 Give us Lying Larry's rear end, we will have a roast!

We will be bringing you an article as a P.M. edition today.  We have recieved a tip so hot that you will not believe what Lying Larry thinks the law "as he knows it" allowed him to do this time. Talk about taking advantage of his position and our Tax Dollars!

Living on a wink and a prayer. Later Today

More of the Law as Lying Larry Knows it

Go Ahead Shirley, Notarize it.

 2-20-08

SevierCorruption.com has had attention called to the fact that as a part of the Agenda of the Board of Commissioners at Feb. 18th meeting, as is the usual case, approximately 75 Notary Publics were approved for Commissioning by the State of Tennessee, all processed through the Clerk’s office. Also, might be noted is the valuable information accessible from the Sevier County website, among which is found a listing of Notaries – names and addresses, phone, if you know specifically who you are looking for – otherwise one is limited in making contact with a Notary Public. On the menus is reference to a Hand Book for Notaries, which could not be accessed.

SevierCorruption.com considers the subject of Notaries in Tennessee of great importance, and through one of our readers, who, having been a Notary in the past and with respect to the importance of the functioning of the Notary to our form of Government as all ‘turns’ on the function of the Notary, has drawn attention to the importance of the Notary Public, the integrity of the process by which this very important authority is delegated. Little regard, it seems, is given to this very important process as it is often treated with little respect and seriousness as shown by events of our past county history in that the question of integrity was properly taken into question whereby the oath of the Notary Pubic was violated willfully or through absolutely sheer incompetence.

As the public sits in witness to the names being approved in ‘blanket form’ by one fell swoop of the vote of the Board of Commissioners, one wonders and speculates if each of these named are qualified truly, take this Commission seriously and if there is a true realization of the duties and responsibilities they are asked to perform and are sworn to perform. All must be reminded of those true events brought to the public which are a part of our County History, another chapter, where the Notary has been subject to ridicule, dismissal and fine up to $5,000 under those laws governing notaries where true violations are actually shown and proven. The Oath of the Notary, when executed, means exactly what it says and truly means as a sworn statement that the ‘undersigned’ has true and actual identity of the person actually signing in the presence of the Notary and that it is a true and authentic signature of the signer which is done either in the presence of the Notary or as a personal acknowledgment of having signed to the Notary. There are absolutely no exceptions as this is the true meaning of the Notary’s Oath!

When one takes a closer look into these laws, subsequent rulings by Courts and as Opined by the State Attorney General, it might be helpful to consult specific publications which SevierCorruption.com is now posting, as well as actual documents taken from the public records and found in the Register’s Office for Sevier County. Although found relatively recently, this document (Quit Claim Deed) has been overlooked, taken lightly or deliberately ignored through the years, apparently, as no referral to our knowledge has been made to the District Attorney General as is the process provided by law under TCA, the laws of this State. Sample signatures from recorded documents have been taken, and now posted, to reflect the true signature of the signer, a public official conveying land assets of Sevier County growing out a portion of Delinquent Tax Sale parcels owned by the County, between the years 1982 and 1991.

These documents are provided as a tool for education on the subject of Notaries in the State of Tennessee and for your general review and information.

Click here and see how loosely Lying Larry runs his office.  Or did he know about this quit claim deed?  Look closely, was he drunk or did he not sign the deed letting someone else.  The signatures sure don't look the same to Seviercorruption.com.  Hurry Lying Larry, call Cousin Judge Jerry McCarter for an opinion from CTAS! 

*EXTRA*

After posting the article below this afternoon, Seviercorruption.com was informed that Commissioner Phil King routinely spends his Saturdays at the Sevier County Court Clerk Satellite office in Pigeon Forge.  According to the information, Commissioner King gives kick backs to the Employees of that office who refer him couples.  This has resulted in employees vying for hours on Satruday at the Pigeon Forge office.  Way to go Phil, you give King family a bad name.

Can you say "tax evasion".

Assistance or Appeasement?

Members from the Wedding Chapel Community ask County Commission for Advertising Help

2-19-08

A Crowded audience at the Sevier County Commission meeting last night heard a presentation from members of the Wedding Chapel Community.  The message showed that Weddings in the county have fallen off dramatically since 2006.  It also showed the advantage of what a little advertising would do, and Commission was asked to consider in assisting with some advertising funding.

Although Mayor, Lying Larry Waters informed the Gentlemen that they would be limited to 10 minutes for the presentation, 5 minutes for each person, the presentation ran almost 20 minutes and was filled with very informative information that the Mayor prevented from being fully shown.  At the conclusion of the presentation, County Clerk Joe Keener ask if the men could appear before one of the many Committees of our County and present the full version of their findings.  Lying Larry denied the request resulting in Keener telling the men that the County would attempt to secure funding for them from the new tax base created by the taxation of the Over nite Rental Industry.

Seviercorruption.com believes that the offer was nothing more than an appeasement to get the group to back off from digging deeper into the goings on at the Courthouse when couples comes in asking for wedding licenses.  We have been told that if a couple who seeks a wedding license asks about where to get married, some members of the County Clerks office have been directed to advise the couples to take the business to Commissioners Phil King or Jimmy Temple.  We have also heard that they men performing the ceremony tell people that the cost for the nuptials will be a donation and these Commissioners are not claiming the fees as taxable income.  This leaves us to wonder, is this scam aimed at more pilfering of money and misuse of the public positions held by unknown numbers of people within our County Government.  The question must me raised in this scam are there kickbacks being made for this quid pro quo.

It is believed that as much as 45% of the licenses sold to couples who have not already made wedding arrangements before obtaining the license, are being directed to Temple and King.

Is your Wedding Business Down?  Is the Wedding business really off or is your potential business being directed away from you to the pockets Public officials by public officials.   

We have had contact with another County Commissioner who told us that they have also preformed weddings in their compactly as Commissioner.  That Commissioner told us that quiet a while back they stopped receiving any request from people who desire to get married.  He further explained that it certainly sounds like we have found the reason for his phone to have stopped ringing and was not surprised to hear that the business was being directed to Temple and King.  Those two Commissioners are deep within the Good Ole' Boy structure.

Joe, we do not wish to believe that you have knowledge of this practice.  So we ask you now to look into these issues and stop this unlawful practice if indeed it is happening.  Because your office is public, you should send people applying for wedding licenses to the right place to obtain information about Wedding Chapels in the area.  You should not endorse one over the other.  They all pay taxes, and sending the business to people who do not claim income reduces the taxes paid into pubic funds on all levels.

If you own or work for a Wedding Chapel, wake up..... Call your County Commissioner and ask them to support funding of advertising for the Wedding Chapel industry.  Do not listen to what they say, watch what they do to assist you in your needs.  See if they look into what we have reported before they deny that it is happening.  Actions always speak louder than words.

Seviercorruption.com brings you the news you need to know. 

Several more items of interest were brought up under the public discussion section on the agenda.  We look forward to letting you know about the context of other presentations made by private citizens daily this week.  Check back and see what else Lying Larry did and did not do.  He is a real joke as a public figure!

Ferrit shows his Investigative Prowess again, NOT!

 2-17-08

In a front page story in today's Mountain Press, their "crack" investigator-reporter writes that County Mayor "Lying Larry" did not withhold the Crescent Printing file.  Let us not forget, that after Kim Pierce raided "Lying Larry's" drawers, he stood in protection of the items and tidbits of corrupting information that the drawers contained for weeks before being forced to pull out one more of the tiny morsels of information showing he only follows the Law as he knows it! 

It is reported to Severcorruption.com that written requests were made for the release of the Crescent Printing file weeks before "Lying Larry" decided to turn lose.  We even heard that on one occasion, an individual who had given written request for the information stopped by the Mayors office asking when he could expect to receive the file, and Lying Larry summoned four Sheriff's officers to run the man and his acquaintance off.  You should have seen it when the four out of shape deputies came running down the hallway of the Courthouse with tongues hanging out like coon dogs on the trail of the possum that was found in Circuit Court.

After being ran off by the Courthouse Bailiffs, the man who made the request proceeded to Chancery Court where he spoke with Chancellor Tellford Forgerty.  He ask the Chancellor if his court could be of any assistance in acquiring the documents, and the Chancellor, in true Good Ole' Boy fashion, tried to tell the man that he could be of no assistance.  After the Judge had placed himself in the corner by trying to buffalo the man, Forgerty found out that indeed his Court was about to become involved.  The Open Record Law says if a public official denies to release public information, Chancery Court is to assist in obtaining the release of the public documents.  By law, if a public official refuses to release public records, Chancery Court can be petitioned for the release of the information.  If the Public official who denied the release can not provide valid reasons for refusal to release, the Court is to Order the release of the documents.  After it was well explained to Chancellor Forgerty that the petition was about to be filed, the following day the Crescent Printing File was given to County Clerk Joe Keener for public review.

Not only did the prowess of the Mountain Press flounder by saying the papers were never withheld from public view.  The Paper has the audacity to try to get the public to believe that they took the time to have comparitave estimates done on some of the printing for the County by the Mayors Printing Company.  We here as Seviercorruption.com have had some comparative bids done as well. But as always we wanted to give Good Ole' Stan and his rag of lies the chance to hang their self before we came out publicly with our story.

Click here and you can see one of the invoices from a printing job that "Lying Larry" let his company do.  This is the invoice from the County Budget Books. The booklet is about 70 pages with a cover.  The pages look to be regular printing paper, folded in half, cover placed on the outside and stapled in the middle.  A member of Seviercorruption.com took one of these booklets to get a fair estimate from an unbiased printer in the County.  That estimate came back in two forms.  One included the printing of this information with the printer doing the print setting.  That estimate came in a little under $2500.00 Dollars.  The other estimate did not include type setting and came back at a little under $700.00. 

Looks like CTAS is getting in a bit over their head.  Did CTAS  forget to LOOK at the Attorney General Opinion. Click here and see the opinion issued from The State Attorney General.  How much did Jerry McCarter bribe Steven Austin from CTAS to say it is ok for a public official to rape and pilfer County Funds?  Bet it was a pretty penny!  Good Job Jerry, how are you going to respond to the complaint against you with the Board of Professional Responsibility?

Click here and see the Attorney General Opinion that Jerry McCarter must have bribed CTAS to overlook.

Craig, another (OLD HEAD) McCarter is part owner of Crescent Printing.  Wait, Jerry McCarter, County Attorney-Craig McCarter part owner of Crescent Printing/County Judicial Commissioner.  No, couldn't be another conflict of interest could it Jerry?      

Now Stan, when are you and the Mountain Press going to come clean?  Who did you get to do the controlled comparative bid from the invoices you cherry picked from the file;  Oh we can guess, it was the Mountain Press.

We wonder, do you own the land the Mountain Press sits on or do you lease it?

 Mayor Waters invites County Commissioners to Join him in Violation of The Sunshine Law 

2-15-08

Once again it has come to the attention of Seviercorruption.com that our fine Mayor, Lying Larry Waters,  is following the law "as he knows it". County Commissioners have received a letter from Waters in their agenda packet regarding formulation of a Committee, and an appointment of Members, to look at the findings of the Saratoga Study Group.  At the close of the Memo Mayor, Lying Larry Waters invites any Commissioner with Questions to Give him a call.  Lying Larry must not be able to comprehend that to follow the Sunshine Law, any questions about ANY agenda item must be brought before the whole body of County Commission, in public session.  Doing so avoids deliberations of two or more members outside of a public meeting,  as required by law.   But let us not forget, Lying Larry follows the Laws as he "knows them", unfortunately, he just don't know any.  Ahh, we see, ignorance of the law is an excuse for Lying Larry.  

This is a blatant disregard for the Sunshine Law as Waters is capable of voting in these matters. Larry, since there has been no change in the open meetings laws, has the State Legislature given you exclusive rights to have your own local rules and change them whenever your group needs them changed?  But clearly, Lying Larry is content to break laws, deny Commission Member's their rights under Robert's Rule of Order and keep as many people in the dark as he can.  All while lining his pockets with money that could go to better our Schools, improve our infrastructures and provide a better Sevier County for all.  

Lying Larry, you should consider getting Sheriff Seals appointed to this committee as we have heard he is known as Dr. Document when something needs a facelift to keep someone in the clique safe!  That way, if the Committee does not make a recommendation you like, you can have Seals change the official Record.

Also Seviercorruption.com has been advised that another Slick Lying Larry Slide-In appointment is to be voted on during the February 18, 2008, meeting. Apparently Christopher M. Jenkins, son of the large man seen hugging Seals, Mike Jenkins, after his win on the front page of The Mountain Press, is the committee's choice to vote on.  Christopher Jenkins says he has spent the last ten years as president and projects manager of Diamond J Construction  a residential and commercial company.  But Seviercorruption.com has been unable to verify the Mountain Press's claim that Jenkins or Diamond J Construction has ever held a Tennessee contractor's license.

There are many un-answered questions regarding this appointment, but the one thing that we are sure of is that the Jenkins family are cronies of Sheriff Ron Seals and have a possible connection to a county commissioner.

It is reported that Jenkins is the former sales manager for his family's company Land-Air Communications which sold the sheriff's department (with no bidding) the newest radio system which has proven to be very inefficient to the point of being just slightly more useful than two tin cans and a string.

We suppose the biggest issue is that most county commissioners not only do not know Christopher Jenkins nor his background.  They do not know his  qualifications.  They have not been told what his salary will be or how many  people he can hire. But the biggest issue, that should be addressed before we create this new position, is what are the rules and regulations he is to follow and can he enforce them unbiased and evenhandedly.  The county Mayor seems to be ready to pay someone a salary before having rules for them to follow. Will Lying Larry just make up rules as he goes for his developer buddies, or will he give Jenkins a "Waters Book of Building Regulations as I Know Them" to follow?

In other actions associated with Lying Larry's "give me a call" to discuss our public business, in private on the phone before the meeting so the Citizens can be left in the dark. The citizen's of Sevier county are about to feel the Water's Big Finger once again. Seviercorruption.com wonders; If the new Building inspector finds out that a few years ago in a Chancery Court ruling,  any property owner who can show that their Property's existence exceeded the Authority of the Regulatory, on such property the Building Codes can not be enforced.   But wait;  What piece of property was not here before we became the State of Tennessee.  Lying Larry, go ahead and tell us you waived your wand and created Sevier County too.  After all, you believe everything you make up is true!  Another fine ruling that Good Ole Telford Fogerty came down with to protect the Good Ole' Boys like our County Planner, Jeff Owenby. Seviercorruption.com is sure Jeff remembers this episode, shortly his involvement was disclosed in that episode of incompentance, he was no longer the City Planner for Gatlinburg.

Here's what Stan at the Mountain Press tell us about Jenkins:

"Additionally, Jenkins said he is encouraged by the committee's assurance that he won't have to do it all alone. The committee that first recommended establishing the new department will remain in intact to help establish the rules the county will follow and Jenkins will be offered guidance by county commissioners as needed."

Does this mean the developer-commissioners will write their own rules? The real Question is; When the County Gets these new rules, will Lying Larry just follow the parts he understands as he knows them?

And how about the fact the the proposed new regulations call for Building Permits to be issued for even the smallest of things, like a dog house,  a cat house or even a swing in a tree in your yard.  Really nice there boy's, really nice!

Seviercorruption.com provides the following information from one of our readers about what we can expect from associating our public funds with the Jenkins family.

I have no problem revealing my identity, I have no problem bringing out the mis deeds and corruption I saw on the Sheriffs Department for 4 years. I have been blasting the County Commission for years directly to their faces and in their email boxes to the point that all the County Websites and emails have been turned off. Go Look!

I am the one that tagged Larry Water as "STUCK ON STUPID". I have talked to Ray Finney, McCord and Voit cut me off for being to harsh. I saw Ron Seals violate the law with mine own eyes. There was also a State Official involved, the State Jail Inspector, Mike Jenkins.

My Name is: Michael J Mgrdichian and I am sure you have heard of me, that crazy Yankee! Yankee yes, crazy no. That was just there way to discredit me. But I saw and know too much. Yes they fear me, however my daughter is married to a 20 year veteran of the department that needs his job. So it is a Mexican Standoff.

I got inside the Sheriffs Department as a reserve deputy through Mike Jenkins. He is Hoss's big buddy. I also worked for Land Air and wrote bills for non work to the tune of $90.00 per hour under the Don Ogle Administration. Hand carried them to then Chief Ed McCarter and to Seals for payment. We need to meet and have a sit down and get to know one another. Just you and me! Looking Forward to it,

Seviercorruption.com would like to thank Mr. Mgrdichian for coming forward.  He clearly has more at interest than his personal well being to take such a stand. 

 

Mountain Press Reporter Ferret Misleads Public

It must be Love!

When Seals Lies, Stan says; Print it!

2-14-08

It only took 4 days for the Mountain Press to report the story that broke on Seviercorruption.com about the Convicted Felon, Tyorne Paul Lintner resigning from his position at the Sevier County Jail.  Apparently, the Mountain Press reporter needed some time to do some digging to verify what we had already reported days ago.  We had proof when we ran our story about his resignation, that Lintner was trained with all other corrections officers at the Sevier County Jail in 2007 and before.  But we wanted to see how the biased Mountain Press would run their story.  We were right on target to give Good Ole Stan a little rope and watch as he hung himself again.  

True to form, the Mountain Press misleads the public by saying that Lintner was not a corrections officer.  Seviercorruption.com has obtained signed records that show the Convicted Felon received training under the Tennessee Corrections Institute guidelines for Corrections officers. Signed off on by Sheriff Seals, Captains Larry McMahan, Don Parton as well as Sergeant David Kitelinger.  That leads us to ask;  If Lintner was not a corrections officer, why was he trained?  Additionally, will the Log Book records at the Jail show that Lintner routinely signed out inmates that were under his direct care and control.  Did he take those inmates with him in a County Van anywhere he pleased, including home with him to have his way with the young men trusted in his care?  We have heard it was common place.

Now that Lintner is gone, it is being reported that Captain Don Parton is assuming the role of Kitchen Supervisor.  Parton apparently knows the ropes on how to purchase such things as Pork Ribs from Swaggerty's, Cucumber and Strawberry shampoo, and other items of luxury that only the best of trustees are given as rewards. Or have the Good Ole Boys running the Jail been making personal purchases using our money?  That sounds more like it to us as we know of no meals at the jail for inmates that included pork ribs.

How many county Jobs does Captain Parton have now?  Will he get another paycheck for this new position too?  Or will he be giving up his other duties at the Sevier County Jail, or as School System Custodian to take over Lintners job?

Stan, did the Mountain Press call the Tennessee Corrections Institute to see whether or not what Seals said is true about Lintner not being a trained Corrections officer?  Larry (Old Head) McMahan told Erica Estep of WATE that the only thing in Lintners File was his employment application.  But he did mislead her by not telling her that the Certifications for the training that Lintner received were in a filing cabinet over at the Jail next to Captain Don Partons office.  Huh, wonder how we found that out?

Stan, if you ask for the documents showing that Lintner was a trained Corrections officer and you once again get mislead, try contacting;

Mrs. Peggy Sawyer, Assistant Director of the Tennessee Corrections Institute, 9th Floor Andrew Jackson Building, 900 Deaderick Street, Nashville, TN. or you can phone her at (615) 741-3816. Seviercorruption.com is sure she will be happy to send you the Documentation.   

Found that leak yet Hossie?  Lick that calf Hossie, that is if you don't get choked on that Pork Rib bone first.  We can only hope.

Click here and see the proof of Lintner being trained as a corrections officer.

Click here and see the proof that Lintner purchased Pork Ribs through the Jail using Taxpayer dollars.  Did inmates really eat those ribs or did Hossie use them at his meet and greets?  Nothing surprises us about the going ons at that Jail under Seals supervision anymore.  How about you?

Parton Family gets Disorderly over Cards

 

2-13-08

Until Yesterday,  Seviercorruption.com had done no advertising to get out our name out, as the place to find the latest on the conduct of our local officials.  After receiving in the mail 5000 cards for placement in local business', we began asking owners of stores for permission to place cards, as well as started handing out cards on a one to one basis.  Hope you get yours soon as they will become collector's items because the next batch will be a new design.

Some of those cards were left in area Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Severville  business'.  Seems at though some of those who appear on the card have not taken kindly to our display. Out of respect for the family at this time we will not mention the names of the individuals who made the scenes but will name the public official.  We have heard of one episode where the brother of Jackie Parton went into a store where the cards were given permission to be placed, and very rudely made an issue of their placement.

This leaves Seviercorruption.com to wonder.  Does Dr. Parton share the same view as his brother?  If so, we must ask for him to step aside and here is why;

My wife and I send our children to school to learn what America is.  We see what they are being taught, but if Dr. Parton can not practice what he teaches, then he must resign as Lintner did. 

Many of the bravest men and women in our Country have given their life for democracy, and the attitude that has been shown by the Parton family speaks against freedom of speech and freedom of the press.  We are entitled to have our views before the public.  Even the County Attorney is on record saying a public figure should expect negative comments about themselves.

Seviercorruption.com reports what is newsworthy in our view.  Maybe we are totally opposite of the Mountain Press, but we promise we are not controlled by the Good Ole Boys.

That leads to the close of this story which is;

Jackie, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about but you too have your own budget and the County has been advised on many an occasion, by audit,  to get centralized budgeting.  We only need one accounting of all funds, not three!  Don't pretend you did not know about the arrangement with the Don Parton family.  If your upset, you may wish to see what else came out of Larry's Drawers.........

Now it makes more sense that your cronies Waldo was hauling Hossie round campaigning.  You did know bout the bumper stickers getting placed on busses didn't you?

If you want to save the County a little money you can lay off Jim Keener as Meteorologist, and we will look outside to see if we can have school.  After all he's only got that job because he is a County Commissioner, right?

The Citizens of Sevier County deserve a Government that practices what you teach our children in our Schools.  Why not give it a try and see what a community we will become!

 

As Stan Voit and the Mountain Press worry About the Cost of a Lawsuit over the Election as More  Lawsuits Filed in Federal Court

2-13-08

The Editor of the Mountain Press sure is doing a fantastic job keeping the people of Sevier County informed.  As he worries about the cost that a possible suit  against the County for failure to follow the Election Code, we at Seviercorruption.com bring you news about a yet another suit filed in Federal Court.

The suit, filed by a former inmate James Erick Emmerick, names as defendants; Sheriff Ron Seals, Captain Kent Hatcher, Captain Don Parton, Tammy Parton, Amanda Parton, Dr. Tim Thomason, Sevier County, and the Sevier County Commission.  The suit filed under 42 USC ask for damages, both compensatory and punitive.

The suit indicates that the Defendants were negligent in providing medical care for the plaintiff's medical needs which included that the plaintiff has hepatitis C, Neurological Disorders which caused seizures, as well as being proreferaly blind. Each of the conditions existed prior to the plaintiff being sentenced to confinement in the Sevier County Jail.  The suit states that the defendants failed to contact the doctor who prescribed medication to treat the plaintiff.  The suit further says that the plaintiff appeared before Judge Rex Henry Ogle who, because of the plaintiffs life threatening conditions, order the man to serve his sentence in the Tennessee Department of Corrections special needs facility.  The suit says that the plaintiff was refused his medication and Sheriff Seals, Captains Parton and Hatcher refused to move the man into the custody of the Tennessee Department of Corrections as ordered.

The suit states that while the inmate served time in unit 4M of the Sevier County Jail, he was left unobserved during times in which he had seizures.  

In naming the Sevier County Commission it is noted that each were named in their official compactly as well as personally.

As Seviercorruption.com reads the suit, it is asking for a total damages in the amount of 31 Million Dollars.  That brings us to the over whelming about of almost 60 Million in requested damages while the Sevier County Jail was under the negligent eye of Sheriff Ronald (Hoss) Seals.  

Lets keep corruption in office, Seals 08!

In closing, Seviercorruption.com has had the unfortunate opportunity to speak with another former inmate who was incarcerated under Seals watch.  This man told us of the Sheriff's failure to administer his heart medication and other necessary drugs which caused him to almost die.  He also told us that while in jail, the Sheriff refused him the use of his colostomy bag.  Can you imagine?  Unfortunately, we have had first hand dealings with Sheriff Seals, and we find this mans claim to be very creditable.

Shame on you Hoss.  In our eyes, you alone are to blame for this egregious conduct.

 State Officials Appear at School System Central Office

  

 2-12-08

Seviercorruption.com has heard that officials from the State of Tennessee are looking into the files at the Central office of the Sevier County School System.  Are they looking into who placed the Seals for Sheriff stickers on County Buses?  Nope!  Are they looking at who was selling guns that used to be in the custody of the Sevier County Sheriffs office out of the County Garage?  Nope!  Are they trying to find out what vehicle the Chevrolet Motor that was purchased at Volunteer Chevrolet was put into? Nope!  At least if they are looking into any of those issues yet, we have not heard about those investigations.  We will however keep our ears open and tell you when that news breaks. 

What has been passed along to us here is that the State is pulling Employment records.  It appears that we have a full time Employee of the School System who also is holding down a full time position at the Sheriff's Department.  Imagine that, we may have ties linking the Sheriff's Department with the School System in corrupt practices.  How can one person hold down two full time jobs?  Maybe this is fraud?  We have heard that when Kim Pierce had her day in Mayor Waters drawers, she found records that show that Don Parton was receiving not one but two paychecks as a full time county employee making almost 70 thousand Dollars collectively.  We have also heard that the reason for this is because a few years back, his father was the Custodian for the School System.  He retired, even receiving a big retirement party.  Now, for him to get his retirement, he can not be full time so the employment records of the County reflect that Dear ol Don holds down two jobs, even though it is his father that actually does the work at the School.

We also hear that Don Partons wife and Daughter work at the Sevier County Jail and the family took many vacations with Paul Lintner, the Convicted Felon who was the Kitchen Supervisor at the Jail until lately.

Jackie, did you vacation with them too?  Please tell us its not true!

The Good Ole Boy's will never learn until their hand is called.  Guess what?  There hand looks to be getting called on many an issue all at once.  When will this end?  Seviercorruption.com hopes that the outside agency's don't stop looking until all of the Good Ole' Boys involved get what is coming to them.  A little Jail time!

Did the Sun Shine on County Commission

Did Lintner take Money, Bayonets and Run

2-11-08

About a year ago when the County Commission appointed Ronald (Hoss) Seals as interim Sheriff, we had an eclipse.  Reportedly, Larry (Old Head) McMahan told one of the Candidates seeking the appointment that Hoss had the job sealed up like a pig in a blanket.  Old Head boasted that Hoss had the support and agreement to obtain the job by at least 17 of our County Commissioners weeks before any public discussion.

Now, it looks like some of those same Commissioners are questions their decision to have appointed ol' Hossie in Light of the Lickner 15 million Dollar Federal Lawsuit.  This 15 Million Dollar Lawsuit is on top of a 13.5 Million Dollar Suit for another Rape at the Jail, filed in December.  Can the Citizens sue the County Commissioners and the Sheriff for raping us by not following the Law?  Can you say recall and ouster?

Seviercorruption.com has heard that Lintner, the Felon, has turned in his notice.  First Seals told the public Lintner was a model employee, then when ask later he said that Lintner was on leave and then on vacation.  This was not true, as associates made phone calls to the Kitchen asking to speak with Lintner days after Seals reported he was not on the premises,  Lintner answered those phone calls.  

We must wonder, did Lintners decision to resign come from being prompted to do so?  Where is he now?  Has he left the County or even the Country in order to avoid service of the 15 Million Dollar Lawsuit.  Surely Hoss's best model employee would never do such a thing.

Seviercorruption.com will continue to look into this situation and keep the public informed.  After all the Mountain Press is only propaganda for the Good Ole' Boys and its hard to believe a word of what they print as being factual and unbiased.  Get the news here fresh and untainted.  The way news was meant to be.

 Mountain Press and Stan Voit Mislead Sevier Citizens for Political Reasons in Fear of Election Contest Suit

2-10-08

A few week ago the Mountain Press reported the Death of a local man who died in the Sevier County Jail under the supervision of Sheriff Seals.  Because it was only days before the February 5th Election, the Mountain Press chose to run the story, which should have been first page headlines, several pages back in the paper.  The Mountain Press, under the leadership of Stan Voit, has always tried to only report what it wants the citizens of Sevier County to hear.  Even when there are many issues that a responsible paper would report regardless of how bad it looks on the "Good Ole Boys" who control our government.  Nonetheless, under the control of Stan Voit, the closer to Election Day we came the less the Mountain Press Reported on what was really going on at the Sheriff's Department.  Stan, are you a Mason with "big secret" too?

After the Election this week, Stan Voit chose once again to use his position to try and sway public opinion instead of reporting the real facts.  In his editorial this week the biased Editor wrote about Brad Lowe saying;

"Was there anybody who couldn't predict Brad Lowe's reaction to losing? Lowe got around 7 percent of the vote. Reached after the returns were in, he claimed he should have had more votes and said he would consult with an attorney about maybe challenging the election. There is a message one should received when getting 7 percent of the vote in a three-man race, and that message is not that your vote totals are inaccurate. A frivolous lawsuit local government would have to defend will produce nothing except a waste of time and taxpayer money. Accepting a defeat with grace and class shouldn't be so hard. It's what we teach our children to do."

http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?BRD=1211&dept_id=169692&newsid=19270520&PAG=461&rfi=9

Because of the failure of the Election Commission to follow the law, it does not surprise us here at Seviercorruption.com that Mr. Lowe is considering Suit against the Commission.  Did the Election Commission forget that they already have one suit hanging over thier head?  For their ignorance the Election Commission should be sued again!  We deserve competence from all of our public officials.  Sorry you don't agree Stan!

Stan, lets talk about what we teach our children to do.  At my home I teach my children to play by the rules and if you cheat, there are consequences for your actions.  You however must be teaching yours to win at any cost regardless of the rules.  Sevier Corruption.com recalls another article that ran in the Mountain before voting began that shows the Election Commission failed to follow the rules in the manner in which the electronic voting machines were programmed.

http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=19200292&BRD=1211&PAG=461&dept_id=169689&rfi=8  

The State of Tennessee Election Code requires that before the machines are used in an election, that notice be mailed out to candidates of when and where the machines would be cleared of the results from prior elections.  The Election Code also requires that the machines be pre-tested for calculation accuracy in front of the candidates and any members of the public that may attend and then set and cleared again to Zero on the counter for the upcoming election.

Stan, did you forget that part?  Oh, sorry you teach you children to win at all cost regardless of the rules.  So the Election Code itself is moot, right?  

In you condemnation of Mr. Lowe you failed to report that the Election Officials failed to follow the Election Code supplied below:

"2-9-105. Preparation of machines for election.

(a) The county election commission shall have the proper ballot labels placed on the voting machines and shall have the machines put in proper order for voting with the registering counters set at zero (000), the counting mechanisms locked, and each machine sealed with a pre-numbered seal. The voting machine technician shall certify in writing that, before sealing each machine but after preparing it for an election, such technician has tested each voting lever and that each machine is in proper working order. 

(b) Before examining the voting machines to determine whether they are properly set up, the commission shall mail notices to the chairs of the county executive committees of the political parties and to independent candidates stating where and when the machines will be examined. Each county executive committee chair and county primary board chair may designate a representative who may be present to see that the machines are properly prepared for use in the election. 

(c) When the machines have been examined, the party representatives and either the commission or the voting machine technician shall make a certificate in writing which shall be filed in the county election commission office stating the number of machines, whether all of the machines are set at zero (000), the number registered on each protective counter and the number on each metal seal with which the machines are sealed. 

(d) The keys for each machine shall be sealed in an envelope showing the location where the machine is to be used, the number of the machine, the number on the protective counter, and the seal number. 

(e) The commission may delegate its duty to examine the machines to the voting machine technician.
[Acts 1972, ch. 740, § 1; 1978, ch. 754, § 4; T.C.A., § 2-905; Acts 1992, ch. 895, § 1.] 

Stan, you even suggested that the new Administrator of Elections did a good job.  How can you say what you did, unless you really do aprove of Officials not following the law that is designed to protect the Security of the Election?

Below is what the Mountain Press allowed Stan Voit to write misleading us, once again;

 

"Ed Kuncitis, the new elections administrator for Sevier County, got through his first election in good shape, with some minor battery issues in some machines early, but otherwise an uneventful day of voting. The 37 percent turnout was good, but the 5,000 people who voted early should make legislators and others look at how Tennessee votes and consider whether we might make some adjustments in the process to get more people to vote early and avoid congestion and inconvenience on election day. Perhaps an uninterrupted early voting period that leads right to election day would be wise." 

 

Seviercorruption.com could not disagree with Stan's analysis more.  The only reason for anyone to desire early voting at all is so the truth about the Candidates that the Good Ole' Boys want in office can not be found to be true.

 

In fact, Seviercorruption.com has heard that many who voted early for Seals would not have done so had they know about the 15 Million Dollar Lawsuit and Seals protection of a Convicted Felon being employed at the Sheriffs Department.  Moreover, we have also heard that there were problems calculating the results at the Sevierville and Catons Chapel voting locations.  The issues at Catons Chapel were so bad that no one was allowed into the polling place to hear the results.  The Election Officials there reported the results to the people outside by taping the print outs from the printers the machines on the window.  What's up with that?  Some in the group of citizens outside saw what appeared to be a argument inside and it took over an hour to get results that should only have taken minutes. 

But your right Stan, if you don't report the news, everything was fine.  LMAO 

 

The Mountain Press should take notice that the percentages of the Votes for Seals stayed pretty much the same from the time the news was broke about Seals covering up for his Felon employee, which happened after early voting was over.  One would think that the Election Day vote totals would have shown a dramatic shift away from Seals in the percentage of votes he received.  They did not which leads us to believe what we fear happened, did happen.  The machines were rigged! 

 

Click on the link below and see that the Mountain Press did report the failure of the Election Officials to follow the Election Code;

 

http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=19200292&BRD=1211&PAG=461&dept_id=169689&rfi=8  

Brad Lowe should contest this election.  How do we know that the true reason for the Election Commission not to perform the requirements outlined by State Election Code is because the machines had already been pre-programmed for the results that the "Good Ole Boys" desired. 

 

Seviercorruption.com has learned that Georgia Tech has been contacted and Mr. Lowe, through his Attorney, is working to bring in expert witnesses to show the vulnerabilities of the ivoteronic voting machines. 

Sorry Stan, some of us teach our children to follow the rules.  Although you do not agree, our public officials should do likewise and follow the Law. 

 Lies Abound, as We go Round and Round

2-8-08

Seviercorruption.com is proud to post the following supplied by readers who have become involved independtly finding the information below and sending it in for post.  Read and enjoy:

We at Seviercorruption.com have been watching the Sheriff Hoss Seals charade regarding Tyrone Paul Lintner with peaked interest for many months.

It eludes us why the Sheriff is determined not to tell the truth about his convicted felon, who now has the potential has become a $15,000,00.00 liability, or greater for Sevier county taxpayers and a predator on young inmates. Sheriff Seals has described him as only "kitchen help", but refuses to explain why Lintner signs all the invoices for the jail, has a county van to drive like it were his own and is able to take young inmates on trips around town with him.

Seviercorruption.com has received information that Seals, Chief Larry McMahan, and Chief Earl Clinton were in a recent meeting and were advised to "get rid of Lintner" by a person of authority. Seals promised the official that the felon would be gone by Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Fast forward a few days and we find the Sheriff, two Captains, the late Bruce Montgomery, the Sheriff's department and the county have been sued for $15mil for repeatedly raping a male inmate. Sheriff Seals then tells The Mountain Press that Lintner is "on leave".

After the election, our contacts show that Lintner was at work EVERY DAY after Seals said he would be gone. Since Seals forgot his orders, WATE investigated Paul Lintner's status with the Sheriff's department with Seals hiding out and leaving Captain Larry McMahan to do the lying for him,saying the felon was on "two week vacation". It is reported that the only thing Erica Estep with WATE found in Lintner's personnel file was a job application. One of our readers has supplied us with the following information as to part of what Seals and the rest of our politicians have been hiding from the public. We must warn you that if The Mountain Press runs this story, Seals comment will most certainly be "it's politically motivated"! We find it odd that he will not comment to us or any other media except the paper.

As confirmed through email inquiry and responded to by phone today, to be followed in writing through U. S. Mail, following is for your information: Tyrone Paul Lintner - per Tennessee Corrections Institute, Director Jerry Abson, as stated by Peggy Sawyer of that department - was 'first hired at Sevier County Jail July 2002 as Food Service Supervisor':

Tyrone Paul Lintner 'received the required formal training of 40 hours, annually - 16 hours by the Tennessee Corrections Institute, the balance (as is permitted) at the facility where employed'. This individual is verified to have been trained and certified as a 'corrections officer' through this training whether or not he wore the uniform or served in the capacity of food preparation, he receiving training and certified for three consecutive years - 2005, 2006 & 2007 - he has the remainder of the calendar year through 2008 to meet these same requirements for the required training and certification as a corrections officer for his continued employment of any kind and nature at the Jail facility. This is the usual training for any member of the Jail staff who has inmates in his custody and control, regardless of this job description. Tennessee Corrections Institute 'is responsible for both training and certification of Jail staffers, as well as the inspection of jails'. There are training facilities located all across the state, a facility is located at Maryville, Tennessee.

Personnel acknowledged awareness of the suit filed in Federal Court, had seen copy of same. There is 'no background work done on applicants but training is furnished at the request of the Jail Administrator or the Sheriff of the County for all Jail staffers'.

The passage of the new law in 2006 relative to the training of felons is acknowledged by the Tennessee Corrections Institute. This department 'has responded to many inquiries made over a period of time' and is 'aware of the concerns'. This means that this situation has not gone unnoticed with lack of concern by various persons and without the knowledge of individuals responsible for dealing with these issues, which all should play well toward the argument that certain criteria have been met but leaves in question the defense of policies in the hiring of a felon in any position of employment within the government of Sevier County.

If policies and practices have, in fact, been established by the government of the county, which is the Board of Commissioners, those policies must be consistant with State Statutes,  that is well and good; if however, there has been a violation of the hiring practices, if and as established, that is another question!

There appears to be no duty of Tennessee Corrections Institute to check the background of any applicant presented for training as a staffer in the Sevier County Jail as responded to at the request of the Jail Administrator of the Sheriff of the County when compared to what the Statutes require of the Peace Officers Training Standards - POST Commission.  That duty falls to the Sheriff, Ron Seals.

 Which Lies Do You Believe?

A Lie Changes, the Truth Stays the Same.

2-7-08

A few weeks ago a Story in the Mountain Press appeared about Brad Lowe's Signs in Sevierville.  That story reported that Mayor of Sevierville Brian Atchley had spoken with Brad Lowe on several occasions about removing his signs.  At the next Alderman's meeting under communications from the public, there was presented a audio recording of Mayor Atchley stating the the ordinance which restricted Mr. Lowes signs was "a very week ordinance" and the City would "not be taking down the Signs."  The Mountain Press failed to report that the recording had been played to the Aldermen.  But that is not the worst of it, as Mr. Lowe also asked Mayor Atchley if the two had ever met or spoken?  To which the Mayor replied that they had not.  That exchange was in direct contradiction to what the Mountain Press had reported and when ask the Press refused to correct the matter, casting Mr. Lowe in a bad light.  Some may consider that the report was as Sheriff Seals would say, "politically motivated." 

That issue brings us to todays report.  Yesterday WATE 6 news reported on the Homosexual Felon who the Sheriff says is only "kitchen help" and a "Model Employee."  During the channel 6 report, we heard that the Assistant District Attorney had denied that his office had not allowed Kim Pierce the opportunity to appear before the Grand Jury.  We assume that the media was speaking of Steve Hawkins as he was the Attorney Mrs. Pierce worked with in her attempt to appear before the Grand Jury.   Mr. Hawkins was the person who not only denied one, but two citizens the right to appear before the Grand Jury, under the outline of the process shown in the Tennessee Code Annotated.  Seviercorruption.com firmly stands behind the fact that Mr. Hawkins was the person who made the denial to Pierce and that Mr. Hawkins either through incompetence of the law or intentionally for political reasons did deny Mrs Pierce her right to appear before the Grand Jury. Seviercorruption.com has audio recordings that will hold that position to be fact.

In just one of the recordings we have, District Attorney Jimmy Dunn is asked by a Citizen if they would be allowed to go before the Grand Jury.  General Dunn replied; "I will see that you go before the Grand Jury, I mean the Forman, and two Grand Jurors."  That is the process laid out by the Legislature but Assistant District Attorney Steve Hawkins refused to allow Kim Pierce that right, even though he knew it was the only outlined process in which to appear.  That too is the cold hard fact!

Seviercorruption.com now provides the process as outlined in the Code;  

T.C.A. 40-12-104 Titled; "Application to testify by person having knowledge of commission of offense. (a) Any person having knowledge of proof of the commission of a public offense triable or indictable in the county may testify before the grand jury. (b) The person having knowledge of proof shall appear before the foreman.  The person may also submit the sworn affidavits of others whose testimony the person wishes to have considered. (c) The person shall designate two (2)  grand jurors who shall, with the foreman, comprise a panel to determine whether the knowledge warrants investigation by the grand jury. The panel may consult the district attorney general or the court for guidance in making the determination. The majority decision of the panel shall be final and shall be promptly communicated to the person along with the reasons for the action taken. (d) Submission of an affidavit which the persons to be false in any material regard shall be punishable as perjury. An affiant who permits submission of a false affidavit, knowing it to be false in any material regard, is guilty of perjury. Any person subsequently testifying before the grand jury as to any material fact known by the person to be false is guilty of perjury." 

Now, who has changed their story?  I have children in school who can see through this transparency.  Which way is it General Dunn?  The way you outlined the process or the way your Assistant District Attorney, Mr. Hawkins says it is?  Why are you on recorded audio saying when asked about Mrs Pierce being refused access to the Grand Jury; "Well im not going to discuss that with you and that's not for you."  If it is true what WATE reported, then you should have answered denying she was prevented to the Grand Jury when asked just days after Kim Pierce was denied to appear before the Grand Jury.  You didn't!!!

Seviercorruption.com says that it certainly looks like the District Attorney, and his offices are in concert with the Sevier County Sheriff's Department, did and continue to take actions aimed at covering up the truth behind what is going on at the Sevier County Jail.  We continue to ask;  Is the real reason for the refusal not to move forward with prosecution of the convicted Felon, Paul Lintner, for his sexual behavior with other men because we have a whole covey of home'sexual men covering up fer each other in the highest levels of our County Government?   What could you have to gain in hiring a Felon in violation of the law, unless you are involved?  If not, please tell the people why you protect this man, while violating the rights of others to appear before the Grand Jury for his benefit?  Hoss, your making the Masons look pretty bad.  They are a secret order.  Have we stumbled on the "big secret."

Sheriff Seals says that he is "kitchen help" and a "model employee." We say he is and has been trained by the Tennessee Corrections Institute by Melody Gregory, and has custody and control of inmates in his care and by the records we have he should not be employeed by the Sheriffs Department.  We must wonder why we are hearing Erica Estep was told by Chief Larry McMahan that the only thing in Lintners File was his application for employment?  Shouldn't the Tennessee Correction Institute certifications be in Lintner's file?  After all, we here we paid for his training there!

How bout showing us, and the People of Sevier County, the log book Sheriff Seals?  Is that what Jettie had yesterday that she was carrying out of your office?  Are you doctoring more public records Hossie? 

Which lie do you believe is true, Assistant District Attorney Steve Hawkins, General Dunn, or those spouted by Sheriff Seals?  Clearly one of them has lied!!!

  

Voting Machines Show Seals Win, Seals Comments to T.V. News Media about Federal Lawsuit Saying Claim Politically Motivated

Just like Rats on a tightrope!

2-6-08

Yesterday turned out to be one of the saddest days in Sevier County History. 

The results show Ron (Hoss) Seals, now named personally as a Defendant in a 15 Million Dollar Federal Lawsuit, will be the Republican Nominee in the August General Election for Sevier County Sheirff.  

Members from two Knoxville Television Stations news staff came to interview Hoss today at his offices in Sevierville.  It has been reported to us that Hoss had no comment for either Erica Estep from WATE, or for Stephen McLamb from WVLT.  The interim Sheriff, Seals who we hope to soon see under Federal Indictment on Criminal charges, has been going around the County telling people that the claim is politically motivated.  Seviercorruption.com does not understand, is Hoss trying to tell us that Male Rape at the Jail under his watch is how to become involved in Politics?  We hope not.  He may put that kind of thing in and out of his mouth for political reasons, but he should not perpetuate that conduct on public property. 

The WVLT report is on hold while they find inmates who were subjected to Lintner and his homosexual conduct. Click the link below to see the WATE report where it is reported that the documents we have are not in the possession of the Sevier County Sheriff's Department.  The removal of these documents is yet another sign that Seals will tamper with the Documents in his possession and control.  He has a history of this type of conduct and we here at Seviercorruption.com are happy to provide those documents for you to access.  Just click on links found throughout our web site and you will see the documents that the Sheriff thought were distroyed.  Thank God for the Honest employees that are employeed at the Sevier County Sheriff's Department.  

Found that leak yet Hossie? 

https://webmailcluster.perfora.net/xml/deref?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wate.com%2FGlobal%2Fstory.asp%3FS%3D7833327

We have heard that Erica Estep from WATE did get to interview Chief Larry (Old Head) McManan who told the reporter when she ask to see the internal investigation file pertaining to the letters written by the inmates, no such file existed.  Imagine that!  How conveinent.

Seviercorruption.com has tried to find out if the plaintiff has any connections to any of the Candidates who were on the Ballot in the February 5, 2008 Primary. We have seen no links as Seals may claim, so it must be that he condones this behavior in the Jail and is instructing people to suck it up or stay out of politics and what he believes to be "his" Jail.

What are the people of Sevier County thinking?  How could they believe a person who refuses to make a comment to the press to clear his name from wrongdoing.  We are posting more hand written letters from inmates and corrections officers at the Jail, showing that Seals knew or should have know about the sexual mis conduct at the Jail as well as other incidents involving the convicted Felon Lintner.  How can he say this is political, unless he is using it as his own tool to promote the sexual conduct he himself may enjoy?  We are starting to think that we may have a Department full of this kind of behavior and Seals is attempting to cover up the facts.  Let us not forget, Seals has told one Citizen to "GET  THE HELL OUT" and also refused to help the Mother of a 16 year old girl who is reportedly having a sexual relationship with another of his officers, he did not have time to assist her.  

We hope the Federal indictment comes quick.  People are dying in the Jail.  We hope the latest death was not because of the conduct of the Sheriff's "Kitchen Help."  Like the Mountain Press does in its reporting, just imagine if the young man who died recently was told he was going to be placed in the control and care of the person charged in court papers with requiring homosexual sexual favors for meals and other benefits that those who choose not to participate do not receive?  Some may choose to take their own life before being exposed to this conduct.

Seals is probably right, this is politically motivated.  He and the District Attorney Jimmy Dunn look to have conspired to have prevented Kim Pierce from taking her criminal complaint on Lintner to the Grand Jury.  Now that shows the true political motivation of people who are sworn to uphold the law and protect us.  

Shame on both of you men.  You hold the life of many people in your hands and you are preventing the administration of Justice. 

In another note, we have just heard that the convicted Felon, Paul Lintner cooks dinner and regularly feeds up to 30 people at the Courthouse.  In addition to those meals the convicted Felon, with the assistance of his newest conquest (who it is reported has a staph infection of the skin and does not wear gloves) prepairs breakfast for the Sheriffs department daily.  Hoss was in hiding and could not be reached for comment.  How long will or can he hide?  Time will tell.  But when big brother comes a knocking, he will be headed to the big house for some of there grub!  This taxpayer won't mind paying for his meals if he is on the other side of the bars where he belongs.

Maybe the Federal Authorities won't be so afraid when it comes to doing the job we need done here in Sevier County to clean the mess you Good Ole' Boys have made and play with.  Hoss, you told the Mountain Press Lintner was on leave.  We understand the Felon spent a total of ZERO days away from the Kitchen.  Guess he couldn't live one minute away from his trustees?  Is it Hoss Lies?  Yep, and to a Federal Agent too!!!!

Your known by the company you keep.  Which begs us to ask; Seals, how long have you had these type of homosexual urges?  Come on out of the closet now, we deserve to know.  We deserve better.

  

Election Commission Violates Election Code with Machines Opening the Door for Election Fraud

2-5-08

I went to vote today and hope each of you did too.  Unfortunately, if you did vote where I cast my ballot, you were not given the benefit and protection of the application of the Election Code.

When the Election Commission certifies the Election results, they sign a form that is sent to the Tennessee Secretary of State.  That form affirms that the Election was held according to the Election Code.  If they sign the form with knowledge that the Election Code was not followed they commit Election Fraud.  Will they be met with a criminal complaint this time? 

http://www.michie.com/tennessee/lpext.dll?f=templates&fn=main-h.htm&cp=tncode 

The outline for the voting machines is in Title 2, section 9 of the above link.  Take a peek and read the code. (2-9-101(a) and 2-9-102)  Were you provided this process where you voted?  Why not? 

Click here and see the TACIR report about our Machines.

The Tennessee Election Code is designed to encourage maximum voter turnout while protecting the integrity and purity of the process.  The Election Code requires that when you go vote you are provided an environment where to cast your vote in secrecy.  When I was lead to the machine, the technician stood there and actually touched the machine during my voting process.  That is not allowing me to vote in secret and I felt very uncomfortable as I went thought the process.  I could see the screen of the person who was voting next to me and I am sure that that person could see my screen as well.  Additionally, we have heard that some Seals supporters were allowed to assist some of the County's Older voters by actually touching the screen assisting them in casting ballots.  This is a danger to the election process and the use of this machines should be abandoned.

Seviercorruption.com understands that Sevier County used Federal Funds through the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to purchase our voting machines.  By using those funds, our officials agreed to purchase machines that would provide a paper receipt for any person who wished to have one to verify that the machine tabulated the electronic vote correctly.  I ask the poll worker if I could have a receipt and they could not provide one.  Why is it that the Election Officials won't follow the law in Sevier County?  You decide.  We already know and so do the Good Ole' Boys.  If we get fair elections, the Good Ole' Boys are gone.  That is why our officials don't follow the law.  Again, we ask you to read the language provided in the above links.  Was the law followed where you voted?

Seviercorruption.com believes that our officials must follow the Election Code to insure a fair and honest vote.  Unfortunately, they still are not getting it right and won't until they see that there are consequences for their arbitrary and capricious conduct.  The Election Officials are in administrative positions.  They do NOT and SHOULD NOT have the right to overlook and abandon the law as it is outlined by the Legislature of the State of Tennessee.

The results of an Election are only as good as the process that is followed during the Election.  Our Election Officials have failed again.

 Seals Defends Lintner as Model Employee in Face of 15 Million Dollar Federal Lawsuit

 2-4-08

This morning on 105.5, the Mix, Sevier County Sheriff, Ron (Hoss) Seals took to the airwaves to defend the Employment of Tyrone Paul Lintner by the Sevier County Sheriff's Department.  Last week, WVLT reporter, Steven McLamb reported that Lintner, convicted Felon and employee of the Sheriff's Department, made a political contribution to Sheriff Seals election bid while failing to pay restitution to Lenard Weiring of almost 50 Thousand Dollars.  It is reported that the Convict has yet to pay one dime in restitution.  How can Seals say the Felon has been a model employee in the face of McLambs report.  In Seals response to McLamb's report, he places the blame on Sheriff Bruce Montgomery for hiring Lintner, the Felon.  Although in Tennessee, by law, when Seals became Sheriff, he rehired all employees at the time he assumed the office.  If Seals were what he pretends, he would have fired the Felon when he took office.  This is what we can expect when the inmates run the asylum.

In the Federal Suit, Anthony Rose, now a resident of Campbell County, asks for 15 Million in Damages.  Mr. Rose's suit is brought under the 8th Amendment.  The suit states that the Sevier County Sheriff's Department failed to properly train and supervise its employees as well as allow intentional or negligent acts, including sexual harassment, assault and rape,  to harm and cause damages to Mr. Rose at the hands of Tyrone Paul Lintner.

The Suit names as Defendants; Sevier County and the Sevier County Sheriff's Department.  The suit further names Paul Lintner,  Ronald L. Seals, Ken Hatcher and Don Parton in their official capacity as well as personally.

Click here to see the Lawsuit and 15 Million reasons why Seals should not be Elected as Sheriff and in the alternative be indicted under Title 18 of the United States Code.  Look to the bottom of this page and read Section 242 of Title 18 of the USC.

Way to go Hoss, you defend a sexual deviant as an Employee?  Are you that way too? What else is going on at the Jail under your watch?  Stay tuned to Seviercorrupion.com. 

We bring you the REAL news that the Mountain Press won't touch.

 

Is the County Liable for Lintners actions and SexualMisconduct?

2-2-08

With the proof shown on seviercorruption.com about the sexual mis conduct of Tyrone Paul Lintner.  How long will it be until the lawsuit looking for a place to be filed will hit.  Maybe early next week the news will be reported that the suit has been filed.

We here at seviercorruption.com are very sad to learn that some members of the County Commission have had information of this mans conduct for a long time and have been covering it up like cats in a litter box.  Their cover up will cost us untold amounts of money that could have been used for pay raises for out teachers, improvements to our schools and infrastructures.  Why are they protecting Seals and the corruption that runs so deep in our County?

This dung stinks so bad, that there is not enough litter in the nation to make its stench be tolerated by any true Christian.  This leaves us to wonder, do our public officials who attend church do so for appearance only?  It looks that way to us, otherwise they would not hide behind the gospel, but use what it teaches to do their job and bring this conduct to a halt. 

How many of our officials are free Masons?  The Masons are not a religious order, they are a brotherhood.  They need to stay out of the political scene and act like a civic organization doing help for the community not using the brotherhood for personal gain and protecting each other.

Is Hoss a Mason?  Yes, he is of the higher order, a Shriner.  Hoss is giving the Masons a bad name!

Call Judge Zorrogle, if he is a Mason, he will make sure to fix it!

HAPPY HOSSHOG DAY

                                                                                                                                                                                                  

                                                 

 2-2-08                                              

This morning Sevier Countians woke up to a sunny day.  When Sheriff Seals went outside he saw his shadow, meaning the County is expecting 6 more months of bad publicity and press.

We contacted Garry Cate about the issue. Through tears of laughter he said; "Sorry I am having too much fun and do not have time to talk on the phone, no comment."

Unfortunately, we here at seviercorruption.com are hearing that there is yet another issue involving sexual mis conduct on the part of another County Officer employed at the Sevier County Jail.  This episode involves a 16 year old girl.

We have heard that a restraining order was issued against the officer by Judge Jeff Rader and that officer is ignoring the courts order.  Imagine that!  We have also heard that the Mother of the Girl went to the Sheriff a couple of days ago before the Seymour Rotary event, and ask the Sheriff for some help.  It is reported that Seals told the woman he did not have time for her and her problem, he was in the middle of an Election.

So if this is true, and we will be working to get documents to post online, Seals once again has effectively told a Citizen to "GET THE HELL OUT" when his assistance was requested.

NOT WHAT WE NEED IN SEVIER COUNTY!

Commissioner Phil King.  If we get you the name of this officer, would you have a prayer meeting with him especially if he is your SON? If the prayer meeting doesn't work, you might try an ethics complaint.

Seals Responds to WVLT Report on Lintner Contribution, While Felon Defies Court to Pay Restitution.

2-1-08

Seviercorruption.com would first like to remind its readers to look at the Lintner Link and notice that furlows were signed for Mr. Lintner while he stayed in the Sevier County Jail after being sentenced to State custody.  Both the sentence to State Custody and the furlows were signed by the same Judge, Rex Henry Ogle.

Where is Lintners money.  We here at seviercorruption.com understand that Mr. Lintner admitted that he turned his collectively embezzled funds into almost 4 million dollars.  None of which was ever recovered.   We no longer wonder why the man is protected by the Sheriff, we think we know....  where's the Jack?

Seviercorruption.com has also learned that the Sheriff himself signed a release further explaining his position on the employment of the Convicted Felon Tyorone Paul Lintner and even misspelled the Felons name in that release along with other words in the Document.  The lack of education of the Sheriff, clearly shown in the document makes us here wonder if he really graduated from any course of higher learning as he professes, or he was so shaken to have his true colors shown that he just forgot to spell check.  Either way, Sevier County deserves better.  We must wonder, when will the good Sheriff start telling the Press to "Get the Hell Out" as he did a private citizen who asked for a public record?

In the statement linked below the Sheriff clearly indicates he has no reason to relieve Mr. Lintner of this duties.  Does the Sheriff have the first signs Alzheimer's?   Or maybe we got us one of them Sheriff's who lives only by Local Rules and refuses to read the Tennessee Code. As Seviercorruption.com reported, as seen down the page,  Sheriff Seals hired Mr. Lintner according to the Law and the General Assembly passed legislation preventing the hiring of a Felon in 2006.

Because of Lintners access to prisioners, he is required to attend training annually.  He is in the care and custody of inmates.
