THE PRESS DEMOCRAT
Former Sonoma County Agricultural Commissioner Cathy Neville made a surprise appearance before supervisors Tuesday to say that she was shocked her former office faces nearly three layoffs come July.
She told the board that fired her in March that $2 million saved for pest control should have prevented the cuts.
An unnamed analyst in her office who she said falsified animal euthanasia records was to blame for the layoffs, Neville claimed.
“I do care,” she said in a brief interview.
The board is a legal battle with Neville, who filed a lawsuit to get her job back after she was dismissed amid complaints of failed leadership and allegations that she lied to personnel investigators. But county leaders seemed unfazed if not mildly amused by her appearance. They shook their heads, bit their tongues and offered no comment.
GO back to San Diego, or where ever it is you come from! Nobody here wants you around(including the tax payers), and it is highly likely no one in the state will want you to work for them either. Grow up! Calling people names and being so mean-spirited and paranoid is NOT normal…
Get some help…
A good manager who supervises employees knows when to give direction, knows when to let knowledgeable workers who do their jobs well alone, treats all employees fairly, doesn’t get involved in office politics, and doesn’t look to fire staff she doesn’t like.
This does not describe Cathy Neville.
Whatever any of us may think of this woman, the appropriate people should investigate her claims.
Cathy is a self serving, uncaring, lost soul who thinks that she can rise above her ego.
God help her.
I have gone before many “Cathy’s” in my life….
Her title, she thinks, gives her the power to wreck other people’s lives.
This is SO NOT TRUE. She has to walk the talk.
Cyclist, well put. I think you are probably right!
Well that’s what she is intending to do….. “I am still here and you can’t get rid of me that easy”
Does anyone else see the irony in Cathy Neville showing up for a budget hearing and proclaiming that she does in fact care? Hmmm… of course I am sure she does not realize nor care that we all see the trickle down domino affect from her lawsuit, thus affecting the budget.
Don’t go away mad Cathy. Just go away.
Cathy Neville just doesn’t get it, does she? She needs to get a life…somewhere else.
Some nerve!
