Whats the storyon the Commssioner. wrote on Jul 26, 2008 5:07 PM:Riverside county is always complaining that they do not have enough judges or commissioners, yet they don't make good use of the Judges and commissioners that they have. Commissioner Lori Hunt-Kennedy has been missing from the bench almost two years. Some say that she was fired, some say the county gave her a golden parachute of two years on the payroll and others say they allowed her to go on disability. The taxpayers have a right to know. County supervisors need to be held accountable for such boondougels.
