I understand your requestion for...1:55............<br /><br />I understand your requestion for comments from ASA's. But, their opinions aren't the definitive mark of KFR's effectiveness. Most have little, if any, management experience and haven't seen enough other offices or large businesses to put KFR's performance in context. If people got out more and saw what was happening in other offices, large businesses, etc., they'd see that I'm right. She is doing a good job. If you really want to get an idea of her worth, poll the FORMER prosecutors who have spent five or more years in the real world. Most of us will tell you that working there was the best job we ever had. Many of us can share stories about KFR's helping ASAs behind the scenes in tough times (you never hear about that because it would be totally inappropriate for her to discuss it publicly).<br /><br />KFR manages top down as most agency leaders and CEO's do and relies on her team to inform her about what's happening and execute her plan. They know what's happening in the pits and are very supportive when need be. Don't forget that Don Horn was a great trial attorney; Kathleen Hoague was no slouch either. <br /><br />I agree that people become government employees knowing that they'll be underpaid. What they don't expect, and what crushes morale, is for the Legislature to impose freezes, furloughs, benefit rollbacks, unfair public criticism, etc. All of those are morale killers. <br /><br />KFR isn't perfect. No one is. I agree that she should spend more time with the line prosecutors and meeting with judges. KFR has tremendous interpersonal skills and I know these efforts would be appreciated. The fact that she doesn't do everything I'd like to see her do, however, doesn't make her a lousy manager or SA. <br /><br />I've seen very few people that can do as good or a better job running the office. When you say "somebody" should run against KFR, think about that. Things could be FAR, FAR WORSE.<br /><br />BTDTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-29227342493713285082011-12-01T19:42:45.714-05:002011-12-01T19:42:45.714-05:002:17 pm = Mike C.2:17 pm = Mike C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-39337196137364274232011-12-01T19:39:53.597-05:002011-12-01T19:39:53.597-05:00duh... co-counsel?duh... co-counsel?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-44002880592875960762011-12-01T19:19:22.346-05:002011-12-01T19:19:22.346-05:00Am I missing something??

This is about an individual who appears to be VERY out of touch with the experience of her line prosecutors, what they do, how they do it, and what they go through to get it done. <br /><br />Does she ever go to Court? When was the last time she visited her country court offices/juvinile offices? <br /><br />Her only interaction is with the 2%of the adminstrator-prosecutors, who incidently get paid 60% of the financial allocation and combined try less then 10 cases a year. Like I said, someone needs to run against KFR.

Things would be a hell of a lot better if the Legislature would properly fund the office. I give tremendous credit to the SAO (and PD) staff who continue to fight the good fight despite constant public/legislative denigation, pathetic salaries, pay and staff freezes, benefit cuts, impossible workloads, etc.) and to KFR for maintaining some semblance of morale. <br /><br />Overall, I think she's doing a good job considering the ridiculous challenges she faces and support her re-election.<br /><br />BTDTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-10059582422691639592011-12-01T07:24:38.714-05:002011-12-01T07:24:38.714-05:00Obama nominated Robin Rosenbaum as our next USDC J...Obama nominated Robin Rosenbaum as our next USDC Judge........GREAT PICK!
