THE RANT: Why is the Leland Town Manager continuing to allow Chief Jayne to force officers to take lie detector tests?
I am writing this response to you regarding the WECT story on the Town of Leland. Do you not think something is fishy that the story was given to WECT after bill Farris retired? Was this information hand delivered to them by Timothy Jayne or one of his cronies. are you aware that town employees are not allowed to leak information to news outlets. the Town has a policy that strictly prohibits it. so if the information came from a current employee they should be terminated and this could end up in lawsuits and criminal charges.
Has anyone done an in depth investigation into Timothy Jayne’s work history and qualifications? Has anyone spoken to people in Charlotte and I don’t mean the ones who will give you the politically correct answer. Why not?
Do you honestly think the Town didn’t know of some of Ms. Cox’s weaknesses? They probably did and they used it to their advantage. She probably was not the first choice- they probably really wanted a man but she was chosen to be able to say they don’t discriminate and they hoped to be able to run over her as they have done with others. the way they saw it she would be so grateful for the opportunity that she would just go along with anything but they guessed wrong. People will only take being treated badly for so long and if there is anything to their character they will eventually stand up.
Those who are at the town see Jayne as he is allowed to do what he wants. are you aware the way the Town operates? there is no way that one little person, other than those with the power, especially one little female was even given the ability to run things or have access to all the files. in fact, you can bet that if you checked all the personnel files of every staff member that has ever worked there you will not find much of anything. How many more people are going to be let go and exactly how much is all this BS costing us citizens?
Do you not think it suspect that Timothy Jayne found out about Ms Cox’s “work history” exactly at the time he himself was under investigation? And exactly what led him to find out about this? Based on what was reported he was not asked by bill Farris to investigate but he himself alone decided to “dig up” the information. Don’t you think there is a possibility that he had a personal vendetta. Sounds like he is rogue cop and now that Farris is gone he feels freeer to run his show.
Where did WECT get the email that was supposedly from the district attorney? It seems to me that he would want to do everything above the board and would not want to give a piece of something that could in fact be taken out of context. If he did then that was unprofessional and I just don’t see that.
I’m not saying that Ms. Cox and the others probably have not made some mistakes but Timothy Jayne is no saint-he just has some fooled or so he thinks, and many are trying keep as quiet as possible because they know the truth and don’t want to face it. Do you not think it is bizarre that Bozeman and others have not done anything about the chief? Maybe he has something on them. Is this how they show leadership? Sounds like the town needs someone who knows the employment laws, otherwise they are just going to keep employment attorneys in business as we and our grandchildren continue to pay the bill.
The WECT report stated that they now know the other side of the story and in reality they don’t. Maybe the entire truth will come out when all the investigations are finished. that is unless those in charge are successful getting rid of and ruining the reputations all those who do know the truth.
What happened to Officer Lewis, what is happening to others, and what you are participating in is exactly why no one ever speaks up and why the Town of Leland has continuously treated people with no regard. They are very adapt at this and they are lower than low.
