Darrell Hampton resigns as Jackson County manager

Monday, March 7. 2011

Darrell Hampton resigned as Jackson County manager Monday night with March 15 to be his last day.

The Jackson County Board of Commissioners accepted Hampton’s resignation following a 15-minute closed session to discuss “personnel.” There was no discussion on the matter when the meeting was opened to the public.

Commissioner Tom Crow voted against the motion to accept Hampton’s resignation, while the other commissioners voted to accept the resignation.

Hampton will receive six month’s separation pay, as is outlined in his contract.

Leonard Myers, who has twice before served two times as interim county manager, will again fill the position in Jackson County while a replacement is found for Hampton.

What took so long ?!
Time for the BOC to do a long nationwide search for a real manager and then let him do his job and clean out the mess caused by our last 2 managers.
On another note someone explain to Tom Crow it's not 1972. Tom do us all a favor and retire gracefully.

Finally a little bit comes out about how Jackson County is being run by the BOC. We need a change. I voted for Tom Crow the first time (What a mistake). I wish we had a newspaper that would do a story on how Jackson County is bring run. We need some new leaders who care about the citizens instead of going along with the Chamber and feeling important like TC. It is time we send TC back to the lake to fish. I can't believe the yokels we elect.

I think the BOE need to spend the county's money as if it were their home budget. Paying wages for six monthes after someone quits is crazy. It is one thing if asked to step down, and you fulfill their contract. But when some one steps down on their own??? No work no pay!I don't know about you but I work hard for my money and I am sick and tired of it being wasted!!!!!
