I have covered every single existing litigation listed under closed session on the March 26, 2024 Board of Supervisor's agenda

 

I have covered every single existing litigation listed under closed session on the March 26, 2024 Board of Supervisor's agenda. I broke the story on the Kristen Wise case last week. 

After which, you saw follow up by other local media, as usual, who seem to sit around and only cover something after it is reported on this blog. I did inform KRCR about this lawsuit because this is a chronic problem and an issue that deserves coverage regionally and statewide.

This lawsuit wouldn't be necessary if those in Humboldt County management and the multiple term Supervisors and the sycophants they hire and promote did their jobs.  Humboldt County leadership and the top overpaid government department heads and even the "well off" in the private sector have disdain against people who struggle due to their poor and greedy choices. Those who constantly complain and shame the very people they use for grants, their salaries and to whom they rent their sub standard properties to is what this lawsuit exposes. Hopefully, instead of another settlement and corrective plan; the people who have been in charge for decades and the agencies involved will be held accountable. 

Rex, the BOS, the CAO,County Counsel and DHHS Director Connie Beck will do their performative theater at BOS meetings and spin this latest lawsuit enabled by certain local media who won't ask them the tough questions, do an obligatory "article." There will be more anonymous attacks online on me from including Reddit by those scared of independent reporting. BOS ignores the Humboldt Grand jury, they ignore attempts to avoid litigation and taxpayers continue to be fleeced because the same people have been "in charge" for decades.

Has anything changed since 2021 when the County issued this statement about Humboldt CWS?

"The California Attorney General (AG) and the Humboldt County Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) jointly submitted a request Thursday to the Humboldt County Superior Court to enter into a proposed stipulated supplemental judgment that intends to fully resolve all outstanding compliance issues relating to the prior 2018 stipulated judgment over DHHS’s Child Welfare Services Division (CWS). "

I regularly covered both Cathie Childs cases. I reported on the Cole Hess case in 2022 and have added updates to that original post. That case is scheduled for trial at the end of the year unless there is a settlement or some other development.

Except for the potential litigation which lists no details so I may have covered the possibility. It could be the lawsuit Ray Christie has been mentioning for years. Or just another lawsuit which could have been avoided.
