Cuyahoga County Sheriff Dept. AGAIN jeopordizing safety of residents

I guess Cuyahoga County Sheriff Gerald McFaul leads by example - he gave unwarranted raises to his relatives and friends of relatives, and now it appears so has one of his underlings...

From the PD --

Sheriff Gerald McFaul's chief of staff voted to give her son two pay raises at Cuyahoga County's Information Services Center, according to records.

Patricia Kresty, McFaul's representative on the Automated Data Processing Board, voted to approve raises totaling $12,358 for Justin Kresty in 2003 and 2004.

County officials said Friday that Kresty should have recused herself from the vote. Cuyahoga County Treasurer Jim Rokakis thinks the vote may have violated state law.

"If it did happen, she should be subject to termination," he said. "It's a violation of Ohio's ethics laws." More...

Almost as disturbing is that Crusty's son quit the Sheriff's Dept on the day he was accused of stealing out of confiscated automobiles - then 2 yrs later is hired for the county again.

But most disturbing about this whole issue is that the Sheriff's Dept. is considering releasing prisoners due to the lack of funds - and here we have the two of the top lawdogs in Cuyahoga County putting the financial welfare of their family and friends ahead of the safety of all Cuyahoga County residents.
