Email from Fired 19-Year Lakewood Clerk Jan Hansen — 15 Comments

  1. If true, dgistributing funds from a public source without approval is a huge concern.

    I think someone was claiming “Dixon” as an example.

    Well here you go.

    Sue, Jean and Jan need to be investigated.

    Orange is the new Black

  2. So this was sent to a village Trustee who sent it to all of the other trustees, and Augustine and Ulrich and Berman and Stephen are saying these letters don’t exist?

    that this is not a “written complaint“?

    Because it looks like a pretty clear written complaint to me.

  3. Nice try John.

    The direction came from County and the Board approved it.

    Berman is once again full of it.

  4. I worked with Jan for many years, and know she is a hardworking and trustworthy person.

    When I heard she was terminated, it just added more reasons to get Phil and Jeanine out of our Village government.

    Phil and Jeanine………shame on you!

  5. Jan was one person of a handful early on who helped me open my eyes not only to the deep toxicity within the administration, but also how ignorant I was at the time as trustee.

    I absolutely was drinking from the KoolAid letting motions pass like they were mere pieces to a massive puzzle that couldn’t change shape or definition no matter how many pieces were added or subtracted.

    But then Jan pointed out that we were not only failing the employees, we were putting the taxpayers in an extremely bad position.

    She had the foresight—thanks to her experience and wisdom—to know where momentum was taking us and what might happen with continued inaction.

    We owe her an enormous debt of gratitude to bring such blatant malfeasance to light despite th damage it would inevitably do to her own livelihood.

    This letter was a selfless act, and not only am I humbled to have worked with her, I’m proud of her unwillingness to compromise integrity despite what she has been forced to endure and what these thugs try to say about her.

  6. Dosent anyone find it alarming that every employee that wrote a letter regarding the toxic work environment, the bullying, and the poor behavior of the president and cao, were eventually fired.

    The people in charge are vindictive.

    The cao has warned employees not to cross her.

    Yet people still blindly defend this administration and board.

  7. Can Serwatka be hired as a consultant to straighten out this corrupt town again?

  8. Someone didn’t do their homework on why CAO Smith was voted unanimously out of Prairie Grove before her contract was up.

    When you pick up someone else’s trash, things start to stink.

  9. Playing the victim.

    Brian Augustine.

    Textbook manipulation.

    Also a douchebag.

  10. Annoyed,

    You are in the dark. Turn on the light and see what is really going on.

    Time and time again this whole subject has been discussed and evidence has been shown about the board and employees of what’s been going on.

    Bryan Younge is one person from the beginning that brought this to light. Brian Augustine knew what was going on since Brian and Bryan where asked to investigate it from the beginning. Unfortunately BrianA knew all of this and just turned his back on the employees.

    Where Bryan Y didn’t.

    How Bryan A can live with hisself knowing he just threw the employees to the wolves is beyond me.

    As it was given in confidence to the board and Smoron. To help these employees have a place to complain to in this toxic work environment.

    Smoron decided to shared the complaint letters with Phil and Jeanie.

    Phil , Jeannie, and board members started to target the employees that sent in the complaints.

    (No safe haven for employees. They had no one to turn to for how they are getting treated. )

    So you have no clue Annoyed what really happened.

    This isn’t made up shit.

    They are pure evil people.

    Like i said before,
    how do they sleep at night and like themselves when they look in the mirror is beyond me. Knowing what they did to these employees.

    Shame on them for not doing the right thing.

    This Village needs a new President and board members. April 6,2021 can’t come quick enough.

    Time for this toxic group to go..

    And welcome a new president , board members and lawyer that has integrity, morals, respect and will be transparent with everything..

  11. Truth – you are so ridiculous.

    Absolutely evil? Get your head checked.

    You are too involved and overzealous to call people evil.

  12. Annoyed

    I call it like i see it.

    This one is simple….

    Obviously you have been drinking too much of lil’ Phil and crew’s koolaid.

    Half truths aren’t truths

    Obviously If you been watching

    Then they get annoyed

    Eventually the wolves in sheep clothing true colors come out.

    So keep drinking the koolaid from your pals.

    Because your post sound ridiculous and you look like the fool.
