first of all,if youre a buddy with a commissioner you better watch out cause something is going on.they should have fired robertson right off the bat.yea they should pay her what was offered to gibbs. this whole county is about the buddy system.they always say they dont have money for raises but they can sure create jobs and pay big money for what they want. im happy that a woman got the job.gibbs want need the job now cause he will sue and get more of countys money.

For all the negative comments about Mr. Gibbs, y’all obviously don’t know him very well! He is a great person and knows more about horses, livestock, and bringing in business than he needs to, to be qualified for this job! And for ” vote the incumbents out” grow up!

Whats his qualifications? Salesman, garbage collector, and kiss up to the politicians?? Gibbs is gone and WR needs to go with him. Vote the jerks out!

Good for her. Why isn’t she getting the full salary if she was better quailified? Also why did we initially hire someone (Gibbs) from out of state. I’m sure we had folks from here that were even more quailified.

I’m sure Gibbs can spell “horses, livestock, and cows” but does he have any extensive business knowledge?

Most of your local high paying managerial jobs require a high degree of education and experience. This job when it was posted( or re-written) did not require much of either.

My other concern is this job with the equestrian center is a full time untertaking, not a part time endeavor from someone who already owns and operates an out of state business.

Congratulations Pam. You have the knowledge and skills needed for this job. I believe the county has made an excellent choice and Pam can get this facility back on the right track.

I don’t know Mr. Gibbs personally, but I do understand that it’s who you know these days which opens the door for a job such as this…but his qualifications for THIS job should not have allowed him to be let through the door. Would not surprise me if he turns up working for the county in some obscure position…director of manager for procurement of street sign poles.

would not surprise me if mr gibbs does not mysteriously show up in some below the radar job in the county in some little out of the way department….manager of procurement for submarine screen doors…

Gibbs wasn’t even marginally qualified for the position the first time around and the job description was re-written so that he could be included for the second. If it weren’t for Larry Newsom and Wilson Robertson’s good old boy arm twisting, he’d never gotten the job back in October – and I don’t think they’ll ever convince the public that it didn’t happen. Gibbs needs to move on and go take care of that pile of asphalt on Nine Mile Road that has to be removed for his buddy because that is something he knows how to do.

I wonder why she is going to be paid $12,000 less per year as the former applicant.
