Not defending BH, but in a way, she’s right, others do it too. Metro Louisville was slammed in the 2008 audit for giving a bonus of about 170K to White, no mention of it in the media.

She does have the office running like a well-oiled machine. On the last day of the month I never wait longer than 15 to 20 minutes to get my tags.

When I worked at the PVA Office I had daily interaction with her office. She runs one of the best offices in Jefferson County. Her staff is outstanding! I haven’t read the audit but the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office is her legal counsel, why didn’t they advise her of the problems with what the audit found?

Her office runs smoothly because of the staffers who have been there for ages.
If you read the audit, you see that SHE is the problem. She makes the excuses.
