Ex-PFPD Chief Hayes Weighs in: DOTC responds
"Larry Gilman offered to help me out, I accepted.He is not a slum lord in my opinion.
I have been responsible for law enforcement of his trailer park for over 20 years. It is well run.
I moved in to my homes 28 years ago. Larry's parents were my neighbors. They were like grandparents to my 5 children. It was a special time as my kids grew up. I met Larry around that time and have respected him ever since. Enough of that item.
I have over 20 years experience of supervising a similar number of employees and budget size. Please review Dan's experience at the time his local party submitted his name to the County Commissioners for appointment to the Clerks position. I think you will find I have adequate experience.
I will try to answer future questions from this blog.
It will be a challenge without knowing who the writers are, but I will try to endure.

I appreciate your comments and willingness to participate in this forum Cliff. This will probably be a new way to engage in the political process for both of us. It sounds like we both plan on being respectful to each other and hopefully other posters will follow that lead.
I could identify with some of your comments in your announcement especially about not really knowing fully what the “insides” perspective is on a job until you have it. I did feel I was fairly prepared one day one for the responsibilities of being Clerk based on the background I had as well. More below.

Thank you for your replies Mr. Hayes. HBO can be a bit rough and tumble, but this is an important community forum and a great way to be heard. CindyH
