File 2 has yet another employee at JFS resigning.  I know the job must be stressful but the continued exodus after four former employees confronted the County Commission on September 24, 2012 should be paid attention to.  My comments at the time:

Those of you that have followed this website have probably noticed what seems like a lot of employees leaving JFS and this issue calls for investigation of not only the accounts provided by the four people who came in today but the views of those still working at JFS as to their thoughts on the working conditions. It is something that this commission should have followed up on some time ago as there have been employees resigning and giving no reason for doing so.  Are there exit interviews? If not, why not? If there are, what were the employee’s comments?  If there are exit interviews they should not be conducted by personnel that may have caused the exit.  This issue continues a trend of poor commission management as at a minimum there are obviously issues with poor employee morale and a lot of experience has been lost. If these accusations from four people are true this issue goes back at least a couple years and reflects a commission a sleep on the job.

A couple weeks later the Landfill "Pop fund" issue became public and added weight to the "a sleep on the job" comment.
