Yesterday, I received an agenda for a policy committee meetings. At first the agenda seemed lackluster, but then several items were obviously the result of Hope Blinco, the mad cow of this post.
Is it a coincidence that suddenly the wording of benefits to confidential employees is only now important because she was lawfully removed from a union that she wasn’t usable? Why would someone who spent a decade misclassifying her enemies have a sudden change of heart? Why would Hope Blinco be allowed to control policies that she can so easily manipulate to her advantage? Shouldn’t she be excluded from these discussions? I think so because the optics in this case matches her intentions. As always, she is simply trying to gain unfair advantages by misusing her position.
As part of the backstory, part of the reason Hope Blinco turned to illegal, unethical, or otherwise prohibited behaviors under investigation by the federal government is I was avid that her inappropriate behavior was not only just wrong, but unlawful. She desperately wanted to keep the protection of a union because through her quid pro quo arrangement, he unlawful behavior had continued for a decade undetected. It was a huge accomplishment in my career to educate the personnel she was harming severely with her depressed wage charts that allowed her to inflate her own. Not allowing her to bury her skeleton in the closet, resulted in a successful and persistent effort to hold her accountable. Their actions extended well beyond all the certified letters that Andre Ponder never responded to.
It is also my understanding that behind closed doors, she managed to negotiate a rather pay increase for herself as a result of being caught red handed with her unethical shenanigan. Ultimately, she still won the fight if she got a raise and her workload cut in 1/2, when was barely large enough to sustain a full time employee as it was
It is also no mystery as to why suddenly Hope Blinco and Andre Ponder are advocating for fees on records requests, either. I openly admit that I was a part of their reason. They simply hate the idea that I can prove they lied to public officials that I obtained lawfully. Since my departure both Hope Blinco and Andre Ponder have been quite willing to forget the Open Records Law exists in hopes that nobody else knows it.
Fortunately, the NRS is clear in what fees can be charged. A nominal charge as set by Statute will certainly not deter me from continuing to uncover, expose, and report the fraud waste and abuse that Andre Ponder champions above everything else.
