The Truth Bites "NH": BIG TROUBLE - questions to ask yourself - READ BETWEEN THE LINES
Attorney General Michael Delaney told the Executive Council that he is deciding whether to appeal a case regarding state hiring practices.

In November, a Merrimack County Superior Court judge ruled that the state must give laid-off state employees preference in being rehired into a more senior position, as long as the employee meets the minimum qualifications. The case centered on an employee of the Sununu Youth Services Center, but the ruling could have a significant impact on all the state's rehiring practices. Delaney argued that the ruling would allow a laid-off employee to "leapfrog" over everyone else for a promotion, whether or not the employee has appropriate management skills. Perhaps wording is a factor here to the writer of the piece must give "laid-off state employees preference in being rehired" as opposed to someone off the street or someone already employed - if someone else within has more experience than they could choose them and then put the laid-off candidate with less expereince there. hmm the word preference means =
1.
a. The selecting of someone or something over another or others.
b. The right or chance to so choose.
c. Someone or something so chosen. See Synonyms at choice.
2. The state of being preferred.
3. Law
a. A priority of payment given to one or more creditors by an insolvent debtor.
b. The right of a creditor to priority of payment.
4. The granting of precedence or advantage to one country or group of countries in levying duties or in other matters of international trade.

Perhaps the court was merely pointing out the obvious - give preference to someone you laid off to interview and oophs you inadvertently save money with unemployment.

The discussion gave Councilor Ray Wieczorek, a Manchester Republican and frequent critic of the Sununu Center management, an excuse to ask Health and Human Services Commissioner Nick Toumpas what is being done about the problems there. Employees have complained about short-staffing, dangerous conditions and discrimination against union activists, while the Disability Rights Center criticized the center for using unnecessary force against children.

PLEASE NOTE: That Toumpas never has a response for what is being done at the Sununu Center - his DCYF division will go after parents who spank their children or on a call where the caller refuses to identify themselves more often than not because they lack credibility (due process right to face accusser and all that good stuff right) anyway they make these families life hell and jump through hoops mostly getting tests done changes to house - where are the services they are suppose to provide? The POINT if it’s a state department abusing children Toumpas's indifference and lack of accountability shows they can do whatever they want.

"You've already fired 32 players on the team, but the manager's still there," Wieczorek said. "Someone's going to be in big trouble (if an incident occurs), and you're at the top of my list."

SERIOUSLY TOUMPAS ITS STARTS FROM THE TOP DOWN - FIRE 32 PEOPLE BUT NOT THE MANAGEMENT - MUST BE A CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND.
Toumpas acknowledged, "I am ultimately responsible" and pledged to look into absenteeism and other problems. (next page »)

Really - ultimately responsible in what way? Is Governor Lynch going to step up and have it investigated? No he'll have his office call someone under Toumpas to do the investigation - seriously you have to wonder if Lynch is an idiot or lazy.

In order to get a proper and realistic view you need an outside source untouchable by the tactics employed by DHHS.

Meanwhile, Gov. John Lynch recently met with a dozen Sununu Center employees. According to the State Employees' Association, employees told Lynch that they were previously able to create a "stable, consistent and safe environment" for residents, but are facing challenges with fewer resources and new management.

DID LYNCH CATCH THIS CLUE: "Employees not yet fired told Lynch that they were previously able to create a "stable consistent and safe environment"??? REALLY - this tells you these lofty employees approve of UNNECESSARY FORCE AGAINST CHILDREN. Study after study shows that young criminals put behind bars come out more harden against the system. Give them a chance and get the REAL help they need and they can become people who do extraordinary things."

Did you catch that LYNCH? The Truth bites quite literally here...
