RATHER RECENTLY, THE BLOGGER HAS CAUGHT A WHIFF OF THE RANCID ODOR OF PUBLIC CORRUPTION WAFTING FROM THE COURTROOM OF MEDINA COUNTY PROBATE JUDGE KEVIN DUMM.

JUDGE DUMM IS PREPARED TO BENEFIT HANDSOMELY WITH HIS HAND IN THE PUBLIC TILL.  NOT MUCH OF A SURPRISE, REALLY.   .JUDGE DUMM TURNS OUT TO BE ONE MORE SLEAZY ATTORNEY WEARING A BLACK ROBE.

THE LATEST CONTROVERSY ARISES FROM THE NEED OF MEDINA COUNTY CLERK OF COURT DAVID WADSWORTH TO UPDATE THE WOEFULLY INADEQUATE CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.  THE BLOGGER TAKES NO ISSUE WITH WADSWORTH RUNNING AN EFFICIENT OPERATION WITH ADEQUATE SOFTWARE TO PRODUCE A PROFESSIONAL WORK PRODUCT.

SO FAR SO GOOD. MS. TUCKER FURNISHED THE BLOGGER WITH BID PROPOSALS FOR THE CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SUBMITTED TO MEDINA COUNTY BY SEVEN BIDDING SOFTWARE FIRMS.  THE DOCUMENTS ARE MUCH TOO VOLUMINOUS TO PRESENT HERE.

AS YOU, THE READERS, CAN READILY SEE, THE BID PROPOSAL FROM TYLER TECHNOLOGIES IS WILDLY DISPROPORTIONATE TO THE OTHER SIX BIDDERS.

HERE'S THE REALLY INTERESTING PART OF ALL THIS.

PROBATE JUDGE KEVIN DUMM HAS BEEN PRESSURING MEDINA COUNTY CLERK DAVID WADSWORTH AND OTHER ELECTED PUBLIC OFFICIALS TO PURCHASE FROM ONE PARTICULAR BIDDER.

CARE TO WHICH PROVIDER DUMM IS PUSHING?

IF YOU GUESSED TYLER TECHNOLOGIES, YOU GUESSED RIGHT.

DO YOU CARE TO HAZARD A GUESS AS TO WHY DUMM IS TRYING TO STEER THIS CONTRACT TO TYLER?

DUMM'S WIFE IS REPORTED TO OWN STOCK IN TYLER TECHNOLOGIES! WHAT A SURPRISE . . . NOT.

SO DUMM STANDS TO PROFIT PERSONALLY BY SUCCESSFULLY STEERING THE CONTRACT TO TYLER. NO TELLING HOW MUCH OF A "BONUS" HE MAY RECEIVE FROM TYLER OFFICIALS IF HE SUCCEEDS IN STEERING THE CONTRACT.

WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR FORREST THOMPSON WILL DO WITH THAT INFORMATION. LIKELY NOTHING, AS USUAL!  HE IS SWORN TO PROTECT THE INSTITUTIONAL CRIMINALS IN MEDINA COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
