The County's handpicked independent investigator is mired in a $multi-million dollar lawsuit with an individual who was a target of an investigation over allegations of sexual misconduct. The person in question, Jeremy Taylor, was subsequently fired, brought up on criminal charges and also facing a daunting civil lawsuit. Evidence in that trial suggests that the Oppenheimer Investigation Group mishandled the investigation to the point that criminal charges were dropped, the civil case was dropped and Taylor was left trying to put his reputation back together again. This is the same investigator that Shasta County used to look into complaints of managerial misconduct by Clint Curtis. He has been at odds with legacy employees who are loyal to the prior assistant ROV, Joanna Francescut. The investigator has indicated that the complaints have been "substantiated based on a preponderance of the evidence." The same standard was used in the Jeremy Taylor case. Although the Board of Supervisors has elected to hold off on a decision to censure Clint Curtis until after the June 2 election, the community feels there has already been a rush to judgment.

This is the third installment of our Great American Patriots series. We take a look at the life and times of George Washington, often referred to as the "Father of our Country". Although he was born into an aristocratic family, he earned his own way in the world. As a teenager, he worked as a surveyor, trying to map this great new world. As a young man, he would command troops in the French and Indian wars. Every American school child leans about Washington's pivotal role in winning the Revolutionary War. What many don't know is that after the war was won he was a reluctant leader of our fledgling republic.
