If a private citizen was accused of illegal dumping, the Ellis County Sheriff's Office would investigate, and refer the case to prosecutors in the DA's office. So I'm curious how the actions - or lack of action - will play out when the accusations are against county employees.
Employees of Ellis County’s commissioner Precinct 4 and residents of Midlothian have alleged seeing county dump trucks of pouring asphalt in creeks and a flood plain in the 2500 block of Walnut Grove, according to documents received by The Palmer Post in an open records request.
Once the environmentalists in Midlothian get word of this, I'm sure a simple open records act request can be filed with Ellis County for these exact documents that I have in my possession. The allegations are clear-cut. Witnesses saw Precinct 4 employees dumping asphalt into a creek.
The "Cover-Up Clock" is ticking...let's see who has the balls in our county government to truly investigate these allegations...
Is this the same Commissioner Ron Brown who paid this emloyee 's company 17k to do the asphalt work? Commissioner Brown, I believe you have egg on your face and I hope you have an explanation for your constituents otherwise known as the folks footing the bills. Typically when you hire a company to do asphalt work they take it up, prep and lay it down. Why would county trucks be dumping this unless this guy is double dipping on county time? I smell something here with a very strong odor.
