Sources in the City County Building indicate that Property Assessor Phillip Ballard had one of the employees terminated on Friday. Not involving himself in the dismissal.

In that same manner, sources indicate that Trustee Duncan had a dismissal unitizing the talents of his Chief of Staff Josh Burnett.

Evidently, with Ballard and Duncan, the concept of the buck stopping with them means the buck stops with my hired help. That gentlemen is NOT leadership.
