She was a department head(non-union) and she was making $75K plus benefits to supervise a very small group that could be supervised by someone else in DHS. The commissioners saved us a bunch of money with just one job, I call that a good start.

It seems to me that in all those decades of helping victims there doesn't seem to be an overwhelming number of letters supporting her.

I like Kluever, he's done a great job especially when you compare him to the tax dodging douche bag we had before him.

Freeborn County Administrator John Kluever said Tuesday afternoon he had not yet been notified of Olmsted’s suit against the county, but he and other officials were anticipating some action to come forward in December.

He declined to comment on the specific allegations without having seen any official documentation but noted that a lawyer through the Minnesota Counties Insurance Trust will represent Freeborn County.

It's hard to get the full story on this considering nobody wants to talk about employment issues because of privacy laws, and the fear of lawsuits.

Was this discussed at a County Commissioner meeting, or was it at the Department of Human Services board meeting that is held at the old armory after the County Commissioner meeting?

What else can be cut/trimmed etc?

Where is your campaign list Liberal?

It seems to me there was something else on there that could be handled by the so called "public sector"?

She was the only non-union employee within the small department.


Oh. One of THOSE overachievers.

That explains everything.

Well now she has been removed, apparently.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how profitable this all ends up being.

SHHHHhhh.  It's a secret.

Freeborn County commissioners met in a brief closed session Thursday to discuss the county’s response to a claim filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Freeborn County Administrator John Kluever said the meeting was closed per attorney and client privilege. He would not identify the employee at the center of the discussion.

“We trust that the EOC will properly and thoroughly investigate the matter,” Kluever said.

He estimated the meeting was about 10 minutes.

closed session
 I suppose they could have more than one of these problems on their hands.  :blush:

Soon, letters to the editor came in Olmsted’s defense, with writers outraged that the county could cut her after 38 years of public service. People wanted answers, and CVCC volunteers voiced support for her before the county commissioners. Finally, in November, Olmsted filed a civil service type of lawsuit alleging that the 60-year-old was terminated from her job as a result of retaliation or age and gender bias. She filed charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights.

Her lawyer argued that, if finances truly motivated county officials, Olmsted would have been more than willing to discuss a transition into retirement that would have involved reduced duties and pay. The filing says Freeborn County Department of Human Services Director Brian Buhmann disdained her. County officials have withheld comment.

The case is one that, according to off-the-record sources, looks like it could drop some bombshells in 2012, if more details end up before the public.

Drop some bombshells? Off-the-record sources?

Well I wonder how much the county saved on this one?  :clap:  

Way to go Rose!  Not only did you at least showed Freeborn County of their errors, you gave something back to the community.

Former Crime Victims Crisis Center supervisor wins $40K

The former supervisor of the Freeborn County Crime Victims Crisis Center won a $40,000 settlement last month with Freeborn County over claims she was wrongfully terminated in June 2011.

The settlement came after mediation in February between Rose Olmsted and her lawyers and Freeborn County officials in Minneapolis. The Freeborn County Board of Commissioners finalized the settlement at its March 18 meeting.


I know there were people in the county fighting for Rose for a long time.  This annual award won in the settlement goes to show the kind of person Rose is and has always been.  

All the years going to county board meetings showed the power that the unions have always held over this and other boards.  Although not mentioned, the county chose to trim their budget a few years ago by releasing non union employees.  Their choice was poor then and it shows now.
QUOTE
 The settlement states that in addition to providing the monetary compensation, the county will establish the Rose Olmsted Advocacy Award to be awarded annually to a Freeborn County resident, professional or volunteer whose advocacy exemplifies service to others.

The news release states the award recognizes Olmsted’s years of service and the advocacy she provided on a county, state and national level for victims of child abuse, sexual assault, crime and domestic violence and for those affected by natural or human-made disasters.

Olmsted and five others will form a committee to select the recipient of the award each year.


Rose, I commend you and all who stood behind you through this.  Your faithful service to crime victims has always been appreciated by those who have come in contact with you personally and professionally.  :clap:

Well I'd say they saved $35k in just the first year if you don't consider benefits.
