Mitch Johnson Is Doing Some City Managing, Alright
The Troublemaker has posted a memo from City Manager Mitch Johnson to City employees.
Johnson makes a clear case for what the situation was prior to hiring RMA, why he hired RMA and where the current follow-up (SBI) investigation stands. Johnson also makes it crystal clear that David Wray chose to resign instead of squaring the findings of the RMA report against his own word to Johnson, elected officials and the public.
As for the current SBI investigation, who knows if it’s focused on James Hinson or any other number of officers within the department. I have no skin in that game, except that if anything sticks, I hope it’s to less officers than many and that the infractions are minor in nature.
Historically, the GPD has a sullied reputation, but I’d much rather be able to trust my current police department than not.
Who wouldn’t?
Now that I’ve read the RMA report and have this update from the City Manager, I’m comfortable waiting for the outcome of the investigation.
Give it three months folks. The rumor mill in town is beyond annoying, approaching ridiculous. We’ll all have a chance to throw our arms up in disbelief once the details of this final investigation comes to light.

not exactly
so what happened then? i read about some kind of a tie between johnson and wray to project homestead on one of your posts… or maybe it was from one of your many anonymous contributors, i can’t remember.
can you make plain what you know?
’cause so far, mitch johnson is speaking in plain language and that report is a pretty damning document. i’m not saying that i know anything for sure, but the rma report and his letter to city employees is compelling if you choose to take it at face value.
