Chesterfield County Virginia Deputies Continue on with Overtime dispute against the Chesterfield County.

Following the unfortunate demise of the Attorney that the Deputies had first entrusted their lawsuit with, it appears the widow of that Attorney will continue with their lawsuit concerning the overtime pay dispute with the county.

Citizens, this new law, that the deputies have pointed out which would allow them overtime compensation was passed by the State legislature in 2005........Citizens....this is 2011.........do the math.......this is a debacle in the making.

When did the parties, Both the Sheriff's Office and the County realise they were at odds on this issue?  I imagine sometime in the last 6 years...........My point.....why has this been allowed to fester on like this for so many years......The answer Citizens......is GOVERNMENTAL MISMANAGEMENT.....from the Sheriff's office to the Chesterfield County Administration....Citizens, we must take control!!!!!!!

Lets face it, times are tough.....they are many occupations and industries in this country that are exempt from overtime law.....period.....you ain't gonna get nothing but straight time, no matter how much you work.....Gas is over 3 bucks a gallon, food and energy costs are killing the working men and women of the great nation.  Social security recipients are looking at another year with no COLA.......and the Sheriff's Office management has assigned overtime like a bunch of drunken sailors..........Citizens, we must take control........!!!!!!!!!!!

"Overtime Scheduling" is a precious and costly commodity.........to the Citizens.......It should only be used in dire situations.......We need leadership at the Sheriff's Office that minds spending the taxpayers dollars.......Not leadership that spends "Our tax dollars" with utter reckless abandon.....I most certainly feel for the Deputies in this mess, but I most certainly feel for the citizens who are getting fleeced by a bunch of neophytes spending our money!!!!!..Citizens, we must take control!!!!!!!!
