When I was County Judge Executive in Lewis County Kentucky, I was responsible for signing the check that paid for every phone landline and cellphone billed to the county. At first it seemed impossible to ferret out the waste, fraud, and abuse for these phone plans. How many phones were taxpayers paying for that were defunct? How many were former county employees who were no longer employed but had been able to keep their phone and mooch off the taxpayer?
Was any of it fraudulent or inaccurate billing by the service provider? But then I came up with an idea… I told every county department (Sheriff, Clerk, Road Crew, Jail, etc.) to give me a list of their phones matched to their county employees or offices. In one month, I would DEACTIVATE EVERY PHONE that wasn’t on one of these lists.
A month went by and only about 80% complied with the directive to list their phones. I gave them one more month and issued a serious warning that their phones would be turned off at the end of the next month.
Finally, I directed the phone company to deactivate all phones that weren’t accounted for. Guess what?

Took him months. He saved “thousands”. I’m underwhelmed.
Lewis County, KY has around 4000 employees. In 2010 there were mostly landlines in offices and not that many employees given government cell phones. A few hundred total? This could have been checked in a matter of days.
Totally disagree with Massie. This is a sign of weakness. Never back up with employees. You told them once. Can them. Next time around the survivors will take your word for it. I’ve only managed about 50 employees. For many years. But I can’t see much difference. It’s human nature. People suck. Never give them an inch.
Then do voter rolls, and fuck Joe Biden.
Something new. I do think Massie is a Patriot. I need to more investigating on this. But here it is hot off the press.
