Setting the Record Straight
|
In the current political climate, the headlines are full of sensational material to grab the attention of voters. It is difficult to separate fact from fiction and get a real sense of the truth.
On this page, it's my goal to set the record straight of my opponent’s misstatements and lack of understanding of the Clerk’s position. I will update any future incorrect information here. Jim Brannon, Kootenai County Clerk |

Some More Campaign Issues:10/12/2018 It's being bandied about that the Clerk acts as a stumbling block to effective County Government by restricting access of County’s financial software, hindering employees from doing their jobs
On several occasions, I have addressed this claim. It is misleading to voters and patently false. Some Campaign Issues...9/11/2018 My opponent has raised several campaign issues. Here, I'd like to address them one by one.
County Clerk - A FULL TIME Job9/11/2018 As your County Clerk, I consistently work 45-50 hours per week, with the expert help of my Chief Deputy. I oversee five departments with 90+ employees. Below you will find an email which lists my opponent's competing priorities. The office of Kootenai County Clerk is a full time job.  Experience counts. My opponent has stated that he does not plan to hire a Chief Deputy if elected. This is not only misguided, it is indeed against Idaho Code.
Nothing wakes an organization up more than a fraud incident. Eight years ago, when Dan English served as County Clerk, the County prosecuted a former employee from the Auditor’s office for financial fraud.
The Clerk's Budget9/10/2018  My goal as Clerk is to protect you, the taxpayer. By increasing efficiency and accuracy, the Clerk's budget has been on a downward trend with the end result of saving you money!
-The Clerk's budget shows a downward trend of 14.5% decrease since Fiscal Year 2015. -The overall Clerk's Division budget has decreased over time, even with greater service demand and the Odyssey software implementation mandated by the Idaho State Supreme Court in 2018. Archives
