The Marion County Board of Supervisors went into a closed session meeting this morning at 10 o’clock to discuss a personnel matter.
The meeting apparently pertained to former Marion Walthall Correctional Facility employee Ettie Faye Ervin who was terminated effective June 10. Ervin was present at the meeting.
Prior to the supervisors voting to go into the closed session meeting, Ervin provided the Marion County Informer with a copy of her termination letter signed by Jan Ardis, office manager for the Marion Walthall Correctional Facility. The letter states that Ervin was terminated for “insubordination.”
Ervin, who said she was a mail clerk at the jail, told the Informer that “it is a racket over there all the time,” referring to the office portion of the Marion Walthall Correctional Facility. She added that there is a “big problem” at the Marion Walthall Correctional Facility.
Supervisor Randy Dyess made the motion to go into the closed session, and the other supervisors present, Lloyd Fortenberry, Raymon Rowell and Johnny Glen Stringer voted in favor to close the meeting to the public. Board President Calvin Newsom was not present at the meeting.
Marion Walthall Correctional facility officials including Ardis and Chuck Abrams were allowed to stay in the meeting room when the board went into closed session. Marion County Sheriff Berkley Hall was also present.
I’m wondering what the purpose of the meeting was….and….what was the final outcome of the meeting.
The Goverment works like this , they have meetings so they can make plans to have more meetings
Its funny how city issues are always public information, but county issues are always private.
CITY ISSUES ARE NOT PUBLIC. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HEARD OF THE COUNTY GOING INTO PRIVATE SESSIONS,BUT EVER TIME THE CITY HAS A MEETING,THEY GO INTO PRIVATE SESSIONS. WATCH WHAT I SAY
REMEMBER THIS,THAT ITS MARION COUNTY & THEY DO WHATEVER YOU ALL LET THEM.YOU VOTED THEM IN,ASK THEM,SINCE YOU VOTED FOR THEM,WHY THEY DO THE THINGS THEY DO !IT’S CAUSE YOU VOTERS LET THEM DO AS THEY PLEASE.
YOU VOTERS,LET THEM PLAY THIER GAMES & WHEN ITS FOR THEM TO LEAVE OFFICE,YOU MIGHT LET THEM BACK IN IF THEY PROMISE THEY WILL DO BETTER THE 4 YEARS,IF YOU VOTE TO LET THEM BACK IN OFFICE.
HAIL,THEY STILL HAVEN’T DONE WHAT THEY STARTED IN THE 1ST PLACE,TELL YOU WHY THEY DID WHAT THEY DID . FINGURE IT OUT ,FOR YOUR SELFES,’YOU’.THE VOTERS,ARE AT FAULT.
‘NOW THATS THE BOTTOM LINE’
LIVE WITH IT OR CHANGE IT IN THE NEXT ‘VOTING DAY’
