Controller Chelsa Wagner Receives Statewide Award For Health Care Effort

Please hold strong on this issue! This individual’s background and refusal to answer questions are extremely concerning to me as a resident & tax payer. The human rights violations at ACJ CANNOT be swept under the rug and allowed to continue.

Just wow. Even if someone wanted to ignore his public comments, not submitting a resume and still winning a no-bid contact looks bad. Any job should at least know that you are qualified to do it before they hire, especially to the tune of half a million dollars.

Nothing about the way the Allegheny county jail is managed would shock me, the county has allowed the administration to do as they please for too long!

🥱

which politcal party runs this city? geez....

When you make comments please keep in mind that there are men and women working there that are responsible for the incarcerated and things like this pose a risk to their safety.

We need to stop incarcerating the non violent

Maybe we could, I DON’T KNOW, stop letting corrupt entities investigate themselves and expect us to fucking buy it

Let them eat bread and milk!

Too bad.

Fitzgerald said this is best for taxpayers. Was that a motivating factor for the county's efforts to make changes? Were they refusing to hold people accountable in an attempt to get to this end? Also, what will be the cost to house Allegheny County youth in out-of-county facilities, and the transportation costs to get them to and from court? Bethany Hallam, Allegheny County Council, At Large and Chelsa Wagner should look into those questions. The state has threatened to shut it down for years. This couldn't have been a surprise to the county. It's as if they were just waiting for the state to pull the trigger.

A few questions remain If shuman center was in so much trouble and needing policies and procedures to be reevaluated Why was their Director pulled from the facility months ago to assist with the allegheny county jail? He should have been cleaning up his own facility.

Why hasn’t the corrections officers union been involved in the small jail initiative as stakeholders yet? I posed that question at the JOB meeting but didn’t see an answer from them. Will Fitz keep us in the dark as to our fate?

Another thing McKain is saying they tried different trainings and adjustments when truthfully their director hired his friend and neighbor Kelly to train people on something she had no experience doing herself. It seems mighty fishy Kelly relocated from Shuman just a few months before its closing. Hmm what did mr director share with kelly he forgot to mention to his 90 employees.

Yeah, that was my first question. Where are they going to be placed upon closure?

Why is it being closed,?

IM sorry, arent you the Financial watchdog and have nothing to do with this issue?

Good! Bust that lazy ass County Union up! They are the reason it has to close.

WTF

Oh. I see. Being a woman, which isn't a real thing these days as gender and physiological sex is not science, and having loads and loads of melanin gives you all the qualifications to make you a leader. Gee. All I thought was hard work and perseverance that got you places. I can't believe I was so wrong. Gosh, do I hate my parents for teaching me a good work ethic.

it took them long enough

So we're supposed to be so proud and happy because a person of color and a woman are voted in positions of power, because one person is BLACK and the other person is a WOMAN, NOT, because those people are particularly qualified, but, because of the color of their skin, and their particular sex. Talk about being racist and anti woman. It sounds as if the only qualifications are color and sex right now. What happened to content of character???
