County Clerk Scotty Weber and His Fabulous Follies!

County Clerk Scott Weber's New Follies!

O Vancouvria! has some interesting insights to reveal about our Clark County Clerk incumbent, Scott Weber (GOP). Weber, a compatriot of "Whiz" Commish David Madore, is (as readers of this blog know) an incumbent County Clerk who is UNAWARE of both the budget (around $6.5M yearly) of his department and the number of employees who work for him (around 42). 

What's appalling, beyond our incumbent clerk's unsteady grasp of numbers financial and demographic, is his view of what the County Clerk's office should do: readers of this blog also know that Weber has publicly stated that "(victims) of domestic violence are going to have their situations aired anyways" (hence why the Courthouse doesn't need private meeting spaces between said victims and their court-appointed advocates). As someone who has committed domestic violence (against my partner 4 1/2 years ago) and who has DONE their time, probation, classes, and fines, I find Weber's callousness on this matter appalling. 

What's even MORE appalling is Weber's own views on his department, and the Clerk's office. This, from Weber's own Facebook page: 

"I am running to abolish the office. It has no policymaking function. The duties are limited to filing court papers. The office of County Clerk should not be elected."

Apparently Weber isn't aware that the County Clerk's office does things like: 

-record fair and accurate transcriptions of trials, hearings, and civil suits
-facilitates and directs all parties in court matters: judges, attorneys, plaintiffs, defendants
-ensures all parties have access to lawyers, especially if they can't afford them
-handles collection of monies for things like traffic violations and court fines
-ensures all parties are able to access all their constitutional rights

This is very scary that this man has ALREADY been elected clerk, and is running now for RE-ELECTION. I hope voters thinking of pulling the lever for Weber go and give him a VERY CLOSE look-see, given the man a) doesn't know what his office does, and b) doesn't want to be an elected County Clerk. 

OTHER WEBER MATTERS: 

O Vancouvria! is also in possession of these two photos, showing a) how Weber reaches out to "lady voters" (who apparently need Scott Weber to remind them to keep their nails groomed), and b) how Weber reaches out to consituents and possible voters (by doorbelling his OWN HOUSE). I have nothing to say on this, other than THESE PICTURES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. 

Scott Weber-themed nail files, previously (until a month ago) only handed out to lady voters. I'd like one: I got nails to keep groomed, Scotty!

Scott Weber's front door, featuring a flyer - perhaps letting him know he needs to vote for himself to abolish his office?

Readers of this blog will know that I have already endorsed Deanna Pauli-Hammond for County Clerk: a candidate with over 25 years management experience in records and financial matters, who is COMMITTED to protecting and enforcing citizens' rights when it comes to navigating legal matters. Deanna is the clear choice to ensure a streamlined and progressive County Clerk's office that works for OUR RIGHTS - not for strange personal ends.

STAY TUNED for next week, when we FINALLY sit down with SHANE GARDNER, candidate for Clark County Sheriff, and find out more about his HERMIT CRAB pets!!!!!
