Save Hubbard County Social Services!
Honor your community and do your job! Follow the recommendations in the consultant’s report to address the problem. Your inaction is putting the community at risk and wasting taxpayer dollars!
Why is this important?
Hubbard County Social Services provides support to the most vulnerable members of the community: abused and neglected children and adults. The current leadership has caused a toxic work environment, leading to over 50% staff turnover in two years. Last year, the county board decided that in lieu of investigating the problem, they would hire a consultant to find out why the department has become so dysfunctional. Since then, the board has refused to abide by the consultant’s recommendations. Between hiring and ignoring an expensive consultant and paying for interviewing, hiring, and training new staff, the county board is wasting tens of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money, all while continuing to put the community members who rely on county services at serious risk.
