Well, he’s at it again. County Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly appears to be doing the crony thing again.
In the past we took him to task for employing the relatives of campaign contributors. The funniest thing is that Daly likes to hire political types to act as intergovernmental liaisons and such like nonsense. What this has to do with the functioning of a County Clerk’s office is anybody’s guess.
Just recently Daly has hired Jordan Brandman, a supposedly up-and-coming Democrat who got himself elected to the Anaheim Union High School Board a few years back. Was there an open recruitment by the Clerk’s Department?
Read the rest of “Hard Hiring Freeze at County; Someone Forgot to Tell Clerk-Recorder”
This hire was BEFORE the hard freeze. This is the “headline”? BORING!
Totally unqualified. Laura Cunningham looks like Mike Bloomberg compared to this kid.
I believe that even with a hard freeze the County CEO has the authority to make an exception if a department heads pleads an effecitve case of why the world is going to end if the position is not filled and why the duties of that position cannot be effectively dispersed to others. I believe the CEO in turn has to give the Board a regular report of any such approvals and be prepared to get beat up in public by the Board if any of the 5 emperors have a problem with what he did. From a practical standpoint of operating a multi-billion dollar large and diversified organziation this kind of exception policy is very wise.
DKM: do you know Jordan’s qualifications? Do you know the requirements for the job? Please explain how his qualifications are insufficient for the requirements.
What, you can’t? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
I don’t know much about the job requirements, but I can say I watched this guy get bitchslapped down by one of Arnolds LOW LEVEL staffers.
He looked like he was going to cry. Refused to place a lunch order and was pratrate for the entire meeting.
Further, as someone who has told governor(s) that they were wrong to thier face, this guy was as upward moblie as the come. Far less interested in results and achievements than how it would look on his resume. His job in Sacto was a cush one, and his School District bio PADS it.
Frankly there are people who have worked tirelessly to achieve reform and Jordan thinks he can replace 30 years of know how with his Dad’s reccomendation.
He’s a daddy’s boy.
“He’s a daddy’s boy.”
.
I’ll sing to that!

Didn’t Daly give some chick from the L.A. Times a job like this after she went through a mid-life crisis and wandered the world for a year?
That was Jean Pasco. Daly put her in charge of the archives. The archives that he later convinced the Supes to blow 2.1 million on. Her name was on the smoking gun memo. Then Mauk covered that up while Moorlach went along for the ride. Very sad.
“That was Jean Pasco”
Is she still on the Gov. Payroll? Don’t you just hate seeing the press in bed with the goverment?
I believed they have 5 staff working for Jean Pasco. Why the hell would they need that many staff.
Someone let the BOS know that Tom Daly is abusing tapayers money and someone needs to bring this up.
