County Clerk Responsible too? What other problems are there?

I would like to know who else out there thinks the County Clerk should be held responsible for the missing money from the County, and other various mis-happenings of job duties?

From my understanding the County Clerks are suppose to balance the drawers as a double check. How can that much come up missing, and at least three employees be involved, in some way, and the County Clerk not know?

Why has it taken so long to fill those positions? I do not see why it is now April, and those vacancies are still unfilled. I had heard it was because the County Clerk failed to publish a employment ad in the paper. Is this not a huge part of a Clerks job to be sure the public knows?

If this County Clerk was new to the job maybe, and I say maybe, those details could be overlooked. However I do believe this Clerk has been in office a few years as the Clerk, and prior to that worked in the office. As I understand, the last County Clerk retired or stepped down, and the current one stepped up, as our local paper calls annointed, and has run unopposed since.

With a great deal of discussions on about lawsuits, and the cost to taxpayers, was there not a lawsuit or grievance filed against the Clerk by employees about bumper stickers on vehicles?

How many more years will no one not run against a public official and give people choices?
