She has bigger cojones than a lot of our elected politicians, and their appointees. Nice to hear somebody on a great job , going above and beyond their duties , and exercising her 1st amendment.

Curse her all you want. She controls the money.

Money is more powerful than any curse ever cast by man.

It is good that she takes her job seriously. I wish more did.

David for every Pam I’ve ever met

The words to pay back the money is “SHALL” or “WILL” not should. The Fla Governor should be involved in this “illegal” event and start firing plus prosecution. These county people knew what they were doing.

I think she might feel a little bit responsible for not catching it sooner! Ultimately, she holds the county’s checkbook – she said it! With that being said, I don’t think she had a clue and this one got by her, so she’s owning it and making corrections and fixing everything, calculating and plans on collecting so she doesn’t catch a charge!

Having worked for Ms. Childers, I can honestly say; she is a total nightmare to work for ….. I witnessed more than once behavior, in my opinion, nothing short of an adult temper tamper. Considering this situation, the citizens of Escambia had every right to hear this in a public forum. The Citizens need & should know what their Elected Officials are doing with public funds. Go Pam Go!!!!

Put the people away who started this illegal plan. Step up State Attorney and go get them.

49.18% contribution rate and no one thought maybe this was a little shady? You joe public can contribute just over 8% ( these are tax deferred funds) Mr ECBCC sour return funds they said.. not that Ms Childers has made her findings all of a sudden they defer to their lawyer?

Because most people who work aren’t retirement law experts we must rely on those who are paid to keep up with these rules. So the 401(a) plan became illegal after it was offered and those who were eligible and received the benefit were not notified that changes had been made in the system by HR or FRS. If it was paid into then why would they be penalized or prosecuted. If the person responsible for HR and retirement doesn’t stay on top of tje changes to retirement policy and laws then they should be be held accountable…and yes an e-mail or phone call to each individual may have been the more tactful way to inform them.

It is common knowledge she has a very high employee turnover rate within her office. She is horrible to work for and she is a pompous and arrogant everywhere she goes.
