After all, former Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson and his wife, Leslie had just been arrested from their home and his wife Leslie was about to take her seat on the County Council and in fact did take that seat. Then <span style="color: red;"><strong>WHY </strong></span>would no one come to speak in favor of this legislation? Maybe -- because the voters did not know WHEN this legislation was scheduled to come up. It's not enough for one group in one part of the County to speak up -- this was an ENTIRE Prince George's County issue. <em><strong>Concerned Prince Georgians</strong></em> are pretty well read -- and we had not heard anything about the status of this legislation -- until it was too late. Yes -- we the voters are at fault for being apathetic -- but the civic association should have reached out to other civic associations in the County so that other Concerned Prince Georgians could have had an opportunity to participate fully in the process.

So many times managers and supervisors take the position that <em><strong>"employees should just be happy to have a job."</strong></em> Well -- duh -- people are happy to have a job but that doesn't mean that they should be subject to undue abuse and more often <em><strong>attitude </strong></em>from their superiors. <br />
<br />
We have talked with employees of Prince George's County Government and contrary to popular belief -- these public servants want to serve its clients --the public -- but desperately seek leadership and direction from their managers and supervisors -- not ridicule, attitude and disrespect. They said they also would like to be at least <em><strong><span style="color: #660000;">"on par"</span></strong></em> with the rest of the surrounding jurisdictions, including the Federal Government with innovative work policies as <strong>"Alternate Work Schedules"</strong> and <strong>"Telecomute"</strong> policies and maybe even some <strong>"job sharing".</strong> What they "don't get" is that managers and supervisors are under the impression that just because they are physically in place at 8:30 in the morning -- that this equals to productivity. They also said its not just about <span style="color: #274e13;"><strong>"more money"</strong></span> it's about showing respect and appreciation for them as highly qualified professionals. More than once they indicated that this was not the case "behind the walls" of the County government and because of the <span style="color: #274e13;"><strong>tough economic times</strong></span> they were afraid of being harassed by their supervisors if they complained or being labeled a "disgruntled employee".<br />
<br />
Come on <strong>"Baker Administration"</strong> Concerned Prince Georgians know you can do better than this in your quest to make a <strong>"Good County Great"! </strong>It is going to take a concerted effort of all Concerned Citizens including County employees to tackle the many problems of our <em><strong>Great County</strong></em> and ignoring the concerns vs. recruiting the efforts of 6,000 people won't get you there.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22971958.post-26873712908999694752011-01-10T05:52:00.000-05:002011-01-10T05:52:54.157-05:00Do You Recall?<em><span style="color: #660000;"><strong>(The following letter was sent to the Editors of Prince George's Monitor and has been reprinted in its entirety)....</strong></span></em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>Dear Concerned Prince Georgians,</strong></em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>Do you RECALL a hard fought election that Mrs. Leslie Johnson won over a large group of competitors?Recall years of confirmations by the FBI that Mr. Johnson was under investigation for abusing taxpayer funded credit cards and numerous development deals?</strong></em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>I would suggest based on the results of the low turnout election that very few people recall any of the warning signs that we were all given. Elections have consequences and must be taken seriously because the stakes are high. (I type this as I look at my son) This is a lesson for why we must stay involved and engaged. Too many times politicians' own self interests and voters focus on charisma over substance seem to leave us hanging.</strong></em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>The last thing I will ask you to Recall is the old practice of <span style="color: #cc0000;">“RECALL”</span> by which voters can correct their mistakes. It is awful that the people of District 6 are not as well represented as they could be but let’s not compound the problem by focusing on restoring the rights to someone under indictment. Let’s accept the loss in the short term and work toward fixing any future mistakes by creating a RECALL Law NOW!!</strong></em><br />

What is the problem? A Coalition was formed to restore the voting rights to Leslie Johnson headed by Douglas Edwards and supported by Arthur Turner. Again, we ask "What Is Wrong With You People"? One would think that the Concerned Residents of District 6 would be forming a Coalition to determine how to "Recall Elected Officials" who have been indicted for any reason. One would think that these residents would be picketing daily demanding for Leslie Johnson to "step down". So Again Concerned Prince Georgians Ask -- <strong><span style="color: red;">WHAT IS WRONG WITH </span></strong><strong><span style="color: red;">YOU PEOPLE?</span></strong><br />

Sources tell us that a total of 13 search warrants were served related to Johnson's arrest. In addition to searching the plumbing in Johnson's home, Federal Agents also searched County Offices in Largo. <br />
<br />
Johnson was handcuffed and lead away. He awaits a hearing in Federal Court. We'll keep our loyal readers posted.<br />

Okay, like may concerned Prince Georgian's we've been glued to every media source trying to wrap our heads around the Leslie and Jack Johnson indictments. In watching the video of County Councilmember-elect Johnson being taken away, we noticed something strange. <br />
<br />
Is it our imagination, or does it look like the Federal Agents are carrying a bag of haircare products for Mrs. Johnson that they put on top of the car? One knowledgeable person on our staff swore there's moisturizer and other potions and notions in the bag? Do you think Leslie was like, "<i>Girl, you know since I'm going to court today, I've got to look good. Help a sister out</i>." Click on the video below to play, and tell us what you think.<br />

Driving around the County, Concerned Prince Georgians noticed that there are <b>a lot</b> of signs with soon to be former County Executive Jack Johnson's name all over. Longtime Johnson watchers know that he spared no expense to put his picture all over the County Administration Building in Upper Marlboro. He even went to so far as to have giant pictures of himself put on the sides of the County's Emergency Response mobile command bus. Even more convincing of his napoleon complex was that he put his name on signs in neighborhoods thoughout the County.<br />
<br />
As we watched the County Council wrangle with budget decisions last week, we wondered if the County budgeted money to change <i><b>ALL </b></i>the signs Johnson's administration put up over the years that bear his moniker. Even more worrisome, does the County even KNOW where all the signs are? We'd bet that they don't. Maybe the County should set up a website and bounty for the rouge JJ signs?<br />
<br />
Our loyal readers know that we're already expecting incoming County Executive Rushern Baker to get rid of those <a href="http://pgmonitor.blogspot.com/2010/07/lets-really-be-great.html">ridiculous "Livable Community" signs <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(click here)</span></a>; but come December 7, 2010, we expect the neighborhoods to be <u><i><b>liberated</b></i></u><i><b> </b></i>from the tyranny of the <b><i>Former </i></b>County Executive's napoleon complex.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22971958.post-29537947121160582782010-10-26T23:08:00.006-04:002010-11-01T13:41:15.807-04:00The Stars Are Lining Up to Take Our County From "Good to Great"!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJSrXKzTbKJueIzBJvJoUq1WNRGWwMYKy6jNl5mZOu5ZnPPWqOmw2gQV8kq-NJ7Pbw-DmxmimVG4pRSfkL3KtpDYQrKu2W8VczSKNX6qZLAnHKhHtl815thkOuo-L25S8eV0AeDQ/s1600/baker+logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJSrXKzTbKJueIzBJvJoUq1WNRGWwMYKy6jNl5mZOu5ZnPPWqOmw2gQV8kq-NJ7Pbw-DmxmimVG4pRSfkL3KtpDYQrKu2W8VczSKNX6qZLAnHKhHtl815thkOuo-L25S8eV0AeDQ/s1600/baker+logo.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"><b>RUSHERN BAKER ANNOUNCES TRANSITION COMMITTEE LEADERSHIP</b></span></div><br />

</tbody></table>As the days draw nearer to December 6th, 2010 when the new County Executive and several new Councilmembers take the helm there are <i><b>"crazy moves"</b></i> abound. One such move is the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/19/AR2010101907337.html">County Council's approval yesterday (<span style="font-size: x-small;">click here</span>)</a> of pay raises for the Prince George's County Executive and County Councilmembers -- effective December 2011. <b> <span style="color: red;">(Please note that their salaries according to reports are already the highest salaries in the STATE)!</span></b><br />
<br />
What <i><b>Concerned Prince Georgians</b></i> is having a hard time tracking is that "the <b>majority </b>of the <b><span style="font-size: large;">outgoing</span> </b>Councilmembers voted for this pay raise even though they would not be the beneficiaries of same. <b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">And</span></b> ...<b><span style="color: #990000;"> strange again --</span></b> not one of them asked the County's Budget Director to explain the budget numbers to ensure that the money was in the budget as they had when a meager <b>2% COLA</b> was in question for County employees -- whom by the way have not had raises in over two years and in addition were subject to furloughs and RIF's for two consecutive years. <b>Hmmmm </b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"><b>And </b>...</span> right after they approved pay raises for the incoming County Executive and incumbent County Councilmembers -- what did this sitting Council do? They again -- <b>"drilled</b>" the County's Budget Director and chastised him once again for not having budget figures to justify the 2% COLA for County employees. "Go Figure"! <br />
<br />
