Nice work. That's a good way to get answers.
while your at it get the one for the highway dept too.
What did certain elected and non-elected persons in this county know and when did they know it concerning possible Hatch Act Violations?
They ALL cannot plead ignorance or plain stupidity for their lack of action.
1. Can I be covered by the Hatch Act if my salary is not federally funded?
Answer: Yes. The Merit Systems Protection Board has held that the test of whether an employee is covered by the Hatch Act is whether, as a normal and foreseeable incident of his principal employment, the employee performs duties in connection with an activity financed in whole or in part by federal funds. Special Counsel v. Gallagher, 44 M.S.P.R. 57, 61 (1990). If an employee meets this standard, the source of the employee’s salary is irrelevant. See Special Counsel v. Williams, 56 M.S.P.R. 277, 283-84 (1993), aff’d, Williams v. M.S.P.B., 55 F.3d 917 (4th Cir. 1995).
2. I do not apply for or administer any federal grants or loans at my agency, and I have no authority or discretion over the federal funding my agency receives, does that mean I am not subject to the Hatch Act?
Answer: Not necessarily. An officer or employee of a state or local agency is subject to the Hatch Act if, as a normal and foreseeable incident of his principal position or job, he performs duties in connection with an activity financed in whole or in part by federal funds. Coverage is not dependent on whether the employee actually administers the funds or has policy duties with respect to them. However, an employee may have other duties in connection with federally funded programs or activities, and thus may be covered by the Hatch Act, even though he does not apply for or administer federal loans or grants or have any authority or discretion over the federal funding.

What county officials SCREWED UP here, either by not doing their jobs or by sheer willful ignorance and inaction?
