My open records request to Nikki Weedon
I am asking for receipts and invoices for all office furniture (including desks, sofas, chairs, etc) and appliances purchased for the Expo Center business offices in the year of 2024. I would like to come in and inspect that information in person and am happy to arrange a mutually convenient time. I am including Nikki on this email as I believe this would be her department. I can be reached via email to set up an appointment.
I assume since all but one are from Cyndi Gray and approved by Nikki Weeden, and intended for the business office, that all office furniture in the below invoices are still at the Expo business office. Gray was fired in November, 2024 after the debacle with the Pow Wow group
Good luck getting a response from her. Still waiting on requests of my own…for someone who gets paid 80k a year she is worthless at her job.
Well, the fulfilled request is on this post, as a file.
So you got sent invoices, I did too. What I did not get sent, specifically asked for, and NW won’t provide, is the Comms signatures for those expenses.
This is the Auditor’s job AND responsibility to help keep Comms accountable. But to be this inept makes me think she’s intentionally not doing this…again, she’s appointed not elected and makes a top dollar County salary, friends with Ms Felon…hmmm…
I admire your work ethic’s as far as getting down to the nitty-gritty Salon. There should always be a check and balance on any P.O. outgoing and incoming. After all the EXPO is still owned and operated by Somervell County. My question is why would Nikki Weedon give anyone the time of day about ordering new office furniture for the EXPO considering it was soon to be sold. That makes no sense! It certainly makes me wonder what else Nikki Weedon might have let Cindy Gray slide through the “Approved Purchase Order Stamp Line” when she thought she needed or just wanted something new, on the counties dime. Maybe it’s time to have a total Audit by the State of our Auditor’s Office considering, she and Cindy had a very loyal and close working relationship as well as a friendship outside of their job. It’s not wise to stall or just refuse the people’s request on the information that your office has been asked for because that only makes you look guilty of hiding something. Anyone that head’s any department that has to be accountable for money should always be transparent about their actions, because you better believe that the people whom hold them responsible will want to see the book’s and that’s their right.
Nikki Weedon when you hire a Felon, Thief, Liar, and a Drug Dealer you better be smart enough to check and see if they can be Bonded. If they can’t be then they can still be prosecuted but you can never expect to retrieve what $ amounts may have been stolen, that’s what a bond is for! In many Commissioner’s Court Meetings among other places the people have been that told she floats under your wing. Did you check out her qualifications, did you know that she was a Felon among other thing’s, did you check to see if she was Bonded by the State? That was part of your job, right? Have you ever had any problems with her work that you just signed off on, that you knew was wrong? Can we all feel secure that under your “Ethics of Accountability” we can all breathe with 100% positivity that our money and interest are secure. I certainly hope you can prove this Nikki Weedon. No stone shall be left unturned to prove you are right or wrong.
