During an on going investigation into the clerk of the court of clay county and Green Cove Springs city council members conduct, by a private investirgator hired and paid for by concerned citizens.  It was discovered that council member Mrs. Rick's sent and received over 4095 e-mails from her computer terminal at the clerk of the courts (Mr. Jett's office).  Of the 4095 emails over one-third was personal business, Green Cove Springs City business or politically related.  Mr. Jett was informed of these e-mails and to my knowledge failed to take any action.  How long does it take to compose, read and send over one thousand e-mails?  I can't personally answer that question, however I do know this.  All of these e-mails were composed and sent at the tax payers expense.  How do we get our money back?  Mr. Jett's policy on e-mails as stated by him is that e-mails are to be sent and received on a limited basis.  How can an elected official set a policy that authorizes county employees to use county equipment and tax payer dollars for personal use?  The policy should be no personal use of county time and equipment period.  It is a fact (the investigator has copies of the e-mails that Mrs. Rick's used county time, county equipment and county employees during her campaign to be elected to the Green Cove Springs City Council.  Her and Mr. Jett's conduct is not only against the law but is also in my belief to be morally wrong.  It appears that Mr. Jett and Mrs. Rick's may think they are above the law.  I would like to hear other citizens comments on these issues.
