With 54,000 “Employee’s” and 30 BILLION to spend annually, the hairball appointed a new Deputy Executive Commisioner to continue to run the Texas Health and Human Services into the ground. It’s already the laughing stock of the Nation, and with a teen birth rate, teen sexually transmitted deseases rate, Food Stamp backlog and a “School System” for mentally retarded children and youth that tops the lists for abuse, neglect and proliferation.
The new dude in Austin is Tom Suehs, and the hairball and him are going to “Fix” the problems being experienced by the Department. Tom’s going to find out why the State is now being sued for not getting more than 40,000 families Food Stamps who a eligible within 30 days of asking for it. He is asking for an “Audit” to tell him how to fix that little problem.
I wonder if the fact that Tom was the Departments Deputy Executive Commisioner of Financial Services for the Department since 2003 has a little something to do with the problem?
I also wonder how the wording in the “Audit” is going to avoid mentioning his minor roll in the Department’s current miserable state?
He was asked by a Stateman Reporter why clients of CPS had to sleep in CPS offices rather than in beds. Tom responded that he had never heard of that complaint. I wonder if Tom would like to speak to Louisa Jessop who slept on the floor of a CPS office 12 hours after giving birth in a shelter? When she DID finally get assigned to a “Foster home” as a child at age 23, she STILL slept on the floor with her baby!
More than a year ago, the “Home” for Mentally Retarded children was being used by the staff as a “Fight Club” for staff and the Legislature made it THE LAW to install camera’s in all facilities. When asked how many facilities were so equipped, Tom stated “One”.
If “The law is the law!”, then how come you didn’t open the Department’s wallet and install the camera’s Tom? Are you waiting for the law to be repealed, or do you need a few hundred rapes first?
With all due respect Tom, asking for an “Audit” of something you have been responsible for for the past 7 years is a little dis-ingenuous. If you don’t know why you haven’t done your job for the past 7 years, who will?
For 7 years you’ve been collecting a salery to run the finances in your Department. Do we have any hope that you’ll start doing your job now that you have the penthouse suite?
