Colbert County Ethics Violations


From Ed Bowman:

We know now, Via Colbert County employee handbook, how employees are supposed to conduct business in Our Courthouse and the consequences for not obeying those statues/laws or the principles outlined in the handbook. Our question next should be, how do we hold our elected officials accountable for allowing such disobedience to those which are outlined in the handbook! I have you the answer right here!
Alabama Code Title 36. Public Officers and Employees § 36-12-60-61-62-64
36-12-60 The object and purpose of this article is to place all candidates for any state office upon an equality by the prevention of the use of any state-owned property in the promotion or advancement of the candidacy of any individual to the nomination or election to any public office of the State of Alabama.
36-12-61 It shall be unlawful for any officer or employee of the State of Alabama to use or to permit to be used any state-owned property of any character or description, including stationery, stamps, office equipment, office supplies, automobiles or any other property used by him, in his custody or under his control for the promotion or advancement of the interest of any candidate for the nomination or election to any public office of the State of Alabama.
36-12-62 It shall be unlawful for any officer or employee of the State of Alabama to transport, cause to be transported or to allow to be transported in any automobile or other vehicle belonging to the state or any privately owned vehicle while mileage is paid by the state any campaign literature or propaganda which promotes or tends to promote his candidacy or the candidacy of any other person for the nomination or election to any office of the State of Alabama.
36-12-64 Any officer or employee of the State of Alabama who violates any of the provisions of this article shall be subject to impeachment and removal from office and shall also be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished in the manner provided by law for such offenses.

We encourage anyone who is aware of ethics violations in any county to report them - not only to Montgomery but to the person's supervisor is there is one.

Mo Brooks has a bank vault full of funds at his disposal. What he doesn't have at this point is integrity. We heartily endorse Clayton Hinchman for our Congressional Represenative Republican candidate.

  1. The whole office should be investigated. Find out what exactly our Rev. Commissioner has done for us except raise taxes on everything you own. State auditors not from here should check each department as well as each citizen. Bring your own copy of your deed. Make sure it's mapped correctly.. Then on to check to see if your house is valued correctly. As well as equipment you are being taxed on. Just for peace of mind.

  2. I believe that the whole office of Revenue commissioner should be investigated go get your deed and have it checked to make sure they have it correct. Also your home or equipment you are being taxed for.a Montgomery auditor should check also. As for use of county time for elections. If I'm not mistaken l was told it was used for Oswalt himself. As well as computer equipment. Maybe you should ask him if that's true!
