Brookings City Manager Janell Howard returned to work on February 1, 2023, after a seven month paid administrative leave, but controversy continues to surround the City Council’s decision to reinstate her as Brookings CEO. Howard was arrested at the Brookings Fred Meyer store on shoplifting charges last July, and the Council reinstated her, with a raise, despite protests from city workers and the public. At least one Brookings police officer has resigned, and there’s talk of recalls. KCIW investigates.

Once a thief always a thief! How many times do you have to be arrested for stealing and still keep your job? Evidently many times for her. Wake up Brookings what you waiting for the next time could be ripping off the city of Brookings. We the citizens of Brookings don’t want to and see if and when it happens she needs to be terminated now. Once a Thief Always a Thief
She needs to go, anybody else would have been arrested!!!

After Reading this Article, does this situation make any sense?
IF there were no grounds to fire Janell, then wouldn’t it make sense for her to pursue a Mega Lawsuit for ‘Fraud’ and the ‘Willful Misrepresenting of Material Facts’ ? – 18 U.S.C. § 1001
If this happened to me, along with all the News Articles and case(s) being therefore False, I would SUE the Hell out of EVERY PERSON INVOLVED, STARTING WITH SLANDER.
Also, after reading the court case I had attached from the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, it stands to reason the pursuing this matter would cost a lot more than just dropping the charges as stated. Common Sense.

Then this matter went before the UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT. – https://cases.justia.com/federal/appellate-courts/ca9/14-35506/9129384067/0.pdf
All this for absolutely no reason?…. Give me a break and open your eyes Sheep.
In the end, Who actually financially gained from this circus?… The People and/or Businesses?. Nope…. Guess Who?
Are the People of Curry County and City of Brookings PROUD of our Public Servants DISREGARDING the Will of their Employers?
I wonder if these same alleged Public Servants would be Willing to hire such people to take care of their Finances?

Plaintiff, in Howard II, seeks non-economic damages for not being hired for the same position, including emotional distress. However, plaintiff previously had a full and fair opportunity to explain her rejection letter based non-economic damages, see, e.g., Official Court Transcript 79–80, Nov. 1, 2011, Civil No. 6:09-cv-06257-AA, Howard I, ECF No. 119, and argue her case before the jury, see, e.g., Official Court Transcript 71, Nov. 2, 2011, Civil No. 6:09-cv-06257-AA, Howard I, ECF No. 120. 10 Plaintiff is not now entitled to argue again for previously litigated non-economic damages. See also supra note 10. Accordingly, plaintiff is barred by issue preclusion in this case from seeking additional damages for emotional distress.
CONCLUSION For these reasons, defendants’ motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 42, is GRANTED.
Definition Summary judgment is a judgment entered by a court for one party and against another party without a full trial.

Report alleges 15 more thefts against Brookings city manager Janell Howard

HAVE THESE PUBLIC SERVANTS FORGOTTEN WHO EMPLOYED THEM?
WHY IS THERE A RECALL FOR 3 PUBLIC SERVANTS IN BROOKINGS?
HAVE THESE PUBLIC SERVANTS FORGOTTEN WHO EMPLOYED THEM?
WHY IS THERE A RECALL FOR 3 PUBLIC SERVANTS IN BROOKINGS?
IS IT BECAUSE “ED” AND COMPANY HAS FORGOTTEN THIS IMPORTANT FACT? YOU SERVE THE PEOPLE AND NOT YOURSELVES.
I ASK THIS VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION. WOULDN’T JANELL AND HER LEGAL COUNSEL HAVE STANDING TO PROCEED AGAINST ALL ENTITIES WHO KNOWINGLY & WILLFULLY LIED TO THE PEOPLE OF BROOKINGS, CURRY COUNTY AND THESE ALLEGED LIES SPREAD THROUGHOUT OREGON?
COULD ANY OF THE FOLLOWING LAWS APPLY TO THIS SITUATION?….REFER TO TITLE 18 CRIMES etc – https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1001 & https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/33/931 & https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/34/10272 & https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/20/1097 & https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/20/1097
WHY WERE THE PEOPLE NOT ALLOWED TO VIEW THE PRIVATE INVESTIGATION IN WHICH JANELL WOULD NOT PARTICIPATE AND MAY HAVE COST THE PEOPLE $8,000?
IS THIS INVESTIGATION BEING WITHHELD FROM THE PEOPLE?
WOULD JANELL & COMPANY BENEFIT MEGA $$$ FOR SUCH LIES ESPECIALLY AFTER PROCEEDING AGAINST ALL ENTITIES INVOLVED INCLUDING KOBI 5 IN MEDFORD FOR REPORTING THIS? – https://kobi5.com/news/report-alleges-15-more-thefts-against-brookings-city-manager-janell-howard-204785/
