Burrell "Marie-Antoinette" Ellis Dodges The Tough Question
CEO Burrell Ellis gave his receptionist a 34% pay increase -- a $10,000 raise. Why? Because she deserved it!
Well, we sure as hell deserve not to work holidays for no pay. And we sure as hell don't deserve to have our pay cut 30 percent in the month of November.
Seriously folks, can we make this stuff up?
The commissioners are raiding the treasures of the DeKalb County taxpayers while we are having police officers shot in the streets!
Enough already! No tickets! Do not support the thievery Burrell Ellis and the commissioners are perpetrating on taxpayers of this county and the unsuspecting travelers through our county!
Each ticket written is money in the pockets of the likes of Burrell Ellis and Connie Stokes.
It has to end!

The Audacity!
While we are suffering at reduced pay and being forced to work holidays without pay, Burrell Ellis, Connie Stokes and Sharon Barnes are handing out pay raises to their very own.
Their actions are nothing more than disdain for the police and other county workers. Our proof? Shelia Edwards. Don't think for one second her dislike for police officers is something new. How long was she affiliated with Burrell Ellis? And you don't think her dislike for the police didn't influence him in any way?
Here are some examples of Burrell's love: Shelia Edwards salary, before she resigned, went from $125,000.00 per year to $138,000.00 per year. A $13,000.00 per year raise! He gave his housing project manager a $31,000.00 per year raise. Yes, that 31 THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR RAISE!
Bad hair Connie Stokes gave one of her staff a $15,300.00 per year raise! A $15,300.00 raise!
The financial genus Sharon Barnes gave her staff a $4,000.00 raise per year. Again, she proves our point.
This all comes at a time when all our merit increases have been frozen. When is the last time we received a cost of living raise? We are being forced to work holidays without pay, and being docked 10 percent pay on top of that. Remember children, in November, there are 3 holidays. That's 3 holidays you will be working for no pay and your monthly income will be reduced by 30 PERCENT!
There is even a rumor that Director Wiz Miller is bringing in $238,000.00 per year! Just damn! You mean he makes more than the Governor?
Burrell Ellis and the other commissioners have just kicked you in the teeth. They have spat on you without the decency of telling you it's raining.
Now more than ever we need to get their attention. The only way to do this is through our supporters. We and our supporters need to show up in force at the next commission meeting and others that follow. It is time for the F.O.P. to organize peaceful demonstrations at the commissioners meetings. Now more than ever we need a leader to step forward. Jeff Wiggs could be just the person.
Until either the commissioners resend the raises, and dock their pay along with their staffs pay 10 percent each holiday, or reinstate our paid holidays, never shall another court appearing traffic citation be issued! Why should you put your life in danger pulling over a car, not knowing what's waiting for you at the window? Why tax the common man and woman with a citation just to support the commissioners pay raises to their staff?
Until we are unified, the commissioners, Burrell Ellis and Wiz Miller will continue to laugh at us and wag their tongues.
The effects of an all out ticket stoppage will not show results immediately. It will take a couple of months to cycle through. Once it does, and the revenue drops by as much as 80 percent, then we will have their attention. We have to show resolve. Don't give in. They must meet our demands, or suffer at the coffers.
It is time to stop worring about consequences. It's time to pull together and support and encourage each other. What do you have to lose? A merit increase? A cost of living raise? Losing a paid holiday? Being forced to work holidays for no pay?
It is beyond madness!

Burrell Ellis' Spokeswoman Shelia Edwards Is Now Judge And Jury
Shelia Edwards, the county spokeswoman, who has displayed signs of mental illness in the past, has taken it upon herself to become judge and jury in an out of state police involved shooting.
From reports, a Gwinnett County man was caught in a New Jersey park performing a sexual act in public. When approached by an undercover policeman, the man panicked, threaten and took actions against the life of the officer. For this he was killed. Good riddance. One less sex predator we have to worry about.
Ms. Edwards, who represents the government of DeKalb County, who was not at the scene of the incident, who has not been any part of the investigation, and from her elitist perch, has taken it upon herself to condemn and convict the officer involved as a murderer.
Not only has Ms. Edwards displayed acts which may lead one to believe she is psychotic, she has now shown her disdain for police. Who is to say her hatred for the police doesn't influence decisions made by Burrell Ellis?
Obviously she has great influence over him. Her personal intimate relationship with Kevin Ross, Ellis' campaign manager, now employed with Rural Metro Ambulance, surely influenced Burrell's decision to terminate CARE Ambulance to replace them with Rural Metro.
Shelia Edwards needs to be forced to resign or be terminated immediately! Or will Burrell Ellis continue to wag his tongue at us?
How can any officer who may be placed in a controversial situation, have confidence in her or the C.E.O.?
How much more of this are we going to take?

U.S. Police Fatalities Increase 43 Percent
Police fatalities are up 43 percent for the year. If this trend continues, 2010 will be one of the deadliest for police officers in 20 years. 3 Chicago police officers have been gunned down in the past 2 months.
Your life is in more danger now and at a reduced pay.

So, Where's The Money?
Click Map To Enlarge
The powers at be are wanting to open 2 additional precincts, split the existing precinct into zones, commanded by captains and overseen by a major. Part of the expansion calls for the addition of buildings to house the new precincts, including the property and buildings of the former Devry Institute of Technology in Decatur.
The reason for the purchase of D.I.T., is to house Center Precinct and Recorders Court.
To man these new precincts, the department will have to promote at least 2 majors, 4 captains, 12 lieutenants, and 30 sergeants (not including filling current vacant positions) and add somewhere around 150 officers.
Each new precinct will have to be equipped with cars, office furniture, computers, printers and phone lines at the very least.
Communications will be a disaster. The current CAD system is failed. It will have to be completely revamped or throw out with window.
This expansion will cost the taxpayers millions and millions of additional tax dollars the commissioners claim we don't have.
All the while the county has taken away our sick leave pay, they have taken away all merit raises. Cost of living raises has been taken away, and now we are working at a reduced pay rate.
The commissioners continue to suck the life blood out of the officers in the streets, yet continue to build monuments and shrines solely for political reasons.
In these grand plans, where has any assistant chief, the chief of police, the director of public safety or any commissioner, stood up and said "the officers need to be taken care of first!?"
Throughout the past 12 years we have been continuously beat down by the police administration and commissioners alike. They refuse to listen to the officers in the streets. They refuse to listen to the supportive citizens. Now they are kicking us in the ribs and our departmental leaders remain silent.
When is everyone going to stand up and say enough is enough? Enough with the "solving crime, and funding the county budget, one ticket at a time".
The madness continues!

South Precinct To Be Divided In Half
For reasons unknown, South Precinct is being divided in half, with Captain R. Moore in charge on one half and Captain B.C. Harris in charge of the other. Major T.D. Williams will remain precinct commander.
Is this the first move in re-organizing precinct boundaries? Why not start with Tucker Precinct?

Just Wondering
After reading Commissioner Radar's Digest for July 2010, we're kinda confused. He writes: "The emergency telephone fund covers 100 percent of all operating expenditures for the 911 system." "In fact, the emergency telephone fund finished the last fiscal year with a surplus."
If this is the case, then why are E911 operators being docked holiday pay? Or, are they being docked?
Sanitation expenditures are self sustaining according to the commissioners. Same questions. If it is true, then why are they being docked pay? Or, are they not being docked?
Same thing for Watershed.
If neither communications,sanitation or watershed are not being docked, then are the commissioners being selective who gets reduced pay and who doesn't?
Just wondering.

AJC: DeKalb Officers Push Ticket Furlough
You may get out of a traffic ticket in DeKalb County.
Some DeKalb County police officers are organizing a ticket furlough to protest their unpaid holidays. Officers, who are promoting the protest on a police officers' blog, said they are issuing more warnings for speeding and other violations.
In February, the county commission voted to stop paying employees on seven holidays as part of budget cuts. Most employees get the unpaid day off, but some police officers and other public safety workers must still work the holidays.
“We just get a reduction in that week’s check,” said Jeff Wiggs, president of the DeKalb Fraternal Order of Police. “We are continually concerned about reduction in pay and police officer morale.”
Despite being unhappy about the cuts, the FOP told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution they do not support the ticket furlough.
“We’re not advocating a ticket slowdown,” said Wiggs, a master police officer with DeKalb. “But due to less officers, there are times in the day where we have less time to do enforcement because of the call volume.”
Wiggs said the FOP has received dozens of complaints from officers about the pay reduction.
DeKalb officials said they were unaware of the ticket furlough and have not seen a decline in citations issued.
“We are 7 percent above where we were last year at this time,” said Shelia Edwards, a spokeswoman for the county CEO.
From DeKalb Officers: Oh really Ms. "look into the camera" Shelia Edwards. Let's see the comparison next week. Hope you and Burrell are not counting on ticket revenue to pay for those 600 positions that are being refilled.

We Bet The Commissioners Are Knee Slapping Laughing Behind Closed Doors
Our wonderful commissioners took notes and learned valuable lessons from the City of Atlanta when the city furloughed their police officers. You see, Atlanta forced their officers to take one non-paid off day every two weeks. That caused shortages in police coverage which outraged the public and some members of the city counsel. The pressure from the public was intense enough to force the city to end furloughs.
Burrell Ellis and the Gang of 7 have taken away our paid holidays and are forcing us to work at a reduced pay instead of taking a very public furlough day. The reduction in pay is 10 percent for the pay period.
So far this year our pay has been docked 3 times, twice now in back to back pay periods. There are 6 non-paid holidays remaining in the year. 3 of those holidays are in November. In November, one check will be reduced 10 percent with the following check reduced 20 percent. And yet another 10 percent in December.
The commissioners are screwing us very quietly, out of public view and without a kiss. If they forced us to take a non-paid off day, that would cause shortages and the public would be outraged, just as in Atlanta.
Burrell Ellis, the commissioners and their staff continue to get paid holidays. Did you read that? The commissioners, and their staff, who are county employees, continue to receive paid holidays!
If the public is aware of what is going on, they are silent because there is not a shortage in police coverage, so they are turning a blind eye. Our pubic safety director, whose mouth is controlled by Burrell’s hand, is silent. Chief Bill O’Brien, who appears more and more to be nothing more than a token, is silent. Not one commissioner has spoken out for us. The F.O.P. and I.B.O.P are silent.
And what have we done for ourselves? On Memorial Day, which we all worked at a 10 precinct reduction, our traffic citations INCREASED 32 percent compared to Memorial Day 2009. Then it looks like our short pay check got some officer's attention. July 4 traffic citations were down 31 percent compared to July 4 2009.
The F.O.P. and I.B.O.P can’t do much. Because of state law, Georgia being a right to work state, they are powerless. We have been quiet for too long. It is time to step up to the plate. We have only one recourse against the commissioners, and that is a “Ticket Furlough”.
At the very least, the commissioners and their staff must play by the same rules as the rest of us. Until they, the commissioners and their staff, are required to take non-paid holidays, or until we get our paid holidays back, we are calling for a ticket stoppage, or “Ticket Furlough”. Not a ticket furlough just on holidays, but every day. We will hit them where it hurts, in the county coffers.
Continue to answer your 911 calls expediently and professionally. Follow rules and regulations. But no where in the rules and regulations does it require that you must issue a court appearing traffic citation (excepting traffic accidents). Traffic enforcement is the desertion of the police officer. We highly recommend writing warning citations instead of court appearing citations. If you turn in warnings, your superiors can not say a word about production. And we seriously doubt most supervisors would say anything because they too are docked pay. Don’t confuse the “Ticket Furlough” with a work slow down. We are not advocating a work slow down.
Continue to be the finest police officers DeKalb County has to offer, but stand up for yourself!

Former DeKalb County police chief Terrell Bolton, who alleges DeKalb CEO Burrell Ellis was just out to get him when Ellis fired him last year, now claims a gaggle of motorcyclists targeted him this week on a Dallas, Texas, tollway. One biker struck and damaged his rear-view mirror, Bolton said, while the driver of a nearby pickup truck made an offensive hand gesture.

Rural Metro Ambulance Is In Service
Rural Metro Ambulance is in full service. In order to man the new ambulances, they hired 60 medics from Care Ambulance, the same company the county fired. Kind of strange, but let's move on.
A poster sent us this little bit of interesting information. We'll see how it plays out.
"Hilarious….Dekalb does it good this time. Kevin Ross, Burrell Ellis’ campaign manager, has been working for Rural Metro, for over a year, as marketing/communications consultant. Mr. Ross is currently dating Sheila Edwards, the current Chief Communication’s Officer of CEO Ellis.
It appears we never intended to hire AMR at all. We just used them as a smoke screen to cover up our connection with Rural Metro to make it look like RMA jumped in to save the day at the very last possible minute when in reality, this has been in the planning for over 10 months.
Good luck Burell. Good luck WZ. You sure as hell are going to need it. Good luck taxpayers of Dekalb County".
Stay tuned!

It Seems The Fix Is In
Something is just not adding up here. Burrell Ellis and Wizard Miller fired Care Ambulance the first week of June 2010. In April of 2010, Burrell traveled to Arizona and visited Rural/Metro ambulance service, who now has been chosen to replace Care Ambulance.
Very odd that Burrell would visit Rural/Metro two months prior to terminating Care Ambulance. Burrell even went out of his way to say he payed for his own trip.
We have a sneaky suspicion the ambulance mess is going to cost the citizens of DeKalb hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees before it's all over with.
