CaboMama: Pierce County

My Google Map images on Pierce County Superior Court hit over 100,000 views today! I am personally proud to know, that by sharing pictures online, the public can see our public court system online. I encourage others to add to this collection by taking their own pictures.
In other landmark events, on September 30, 2016, I went before the Presiding Judge Frank Cuthbertson by myself. He ridiculed me as a pro-se attorney and I reminded him that the Pierce County Bar Association could not provide an attorney referral due to the nature of going against Ken Luce, a former judge, city attorney, and prosecutor. Unless he court ordered me to hire an attorney, I remain pro-se. Ken Luce and Anthony Taylor were absent. Cuthbertson was unprepared to hear my case which the clerk did not properly note on the docket. Thus, Cuthbertson asked for me to reschedule in November and I have. Until then, there is a restraining order on selling any of my late-mother's assets, including Casa Molly home in Cabo San Lucas in the Santa Carmela housing development. Thank you all for your support.

UNIMPRESSED meeting Pat McCarthy, Pierce County Executive and CORRUPTION within County Council, who bills at $25,384 an hour, per council member.

Citizens outraged McCarthy allows destruction of public records.

Background: On May 16, 2016, I obtained a court ruling my late-mother passed away without a will. The county clerk shredded the order. Ms. McCarthy appointed the clerk and is directly responsible for any negligence. Her attorney, Mr. Al Rose, stated that the action of destroying government property is within the law because an audio transcription still exists and that I will never get a meeting with her, ever.

Public outrage against County Executive Pat McCarthy

It is under Patricia McCarthy's leadership and management who single handily can fix this shredding of the document, no one else. I have been before the presiding judge, county counsel, attorney general, court of appeals, who have all referred me back to the executive who refuses to meet with me.

McCarthy, "Incompetent"

Tuesday, August 23rd - The weekly County Council started at 3:00PM and commenced at 3:05PM. Since each of the 7 members makes $111,000 annually, when working at only 5 minutes a week, they earn $25,384 per hour. Curious on this high paying career, I followed the counsel members down to the 7th floor, Executive Offices, to see what was going on. The etched window allowed me to peak inside to see the elected officials: Rick Talbert, Doug Richardson and Pat McCarthy meeting with businessmen.

I watched out of mere curiosity and was approached by three sheriffs demanding I leave and I replied, "Sure, if you can tell me what law I am breaking." They responded for "interrupting a meeting". I then whispered back, "Officers, you are being loud and the ones interrupting a meeting. I haven't said a word nor interrupted any meeting." Silence. I continued to watch while the 3 sheriffs stood across the hall staring at me the entire time I watched (creepy). Meanwhile, in the women's restroom, there were now signs already placed that stated "PAT MCCARTHY END THE CORRUPTION UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP" and "YOU SHOULD BE FIRED KEVIN STOCK, COUNTY CLERK". The sheriffs were men so they would not see the signs, unless they were transgender and used the women's restroom. My friend Michael ran to grab my video camera and when he returned and saw the 3 sheriffs announced he was going to the men's restroom and walked by us and never returned. Joey said he'd check on Michael but I didn't want to be alone with these 3 sheriffs staring at me; their glances and stares were, quite frankly, disgusting. I went with Joey and when my friend was not in the men's restroom, we decided to take the secret elevator down to the 1st floor to continue the search for him. On the 1st floor, he was still nowhere in sight. Yet, oddly, same sheriffs from the 7th floor appeared now on the 1st floor looking for me and my dog. They approached me to tell me the secret elevator was only for prisoners and not public use. I thanked them for the information and agreed to not sneak out of the 7th floor like that again.

So, it was time to go back to the 7th floor to look for our friend who disappeared. The sheriff insisted he go on the elevator with us (the correct elevator of course). When we arrived back to the 7th floor, the meeting had concluded and members were dispersed throughout the floor. The signs from the women's restrooms were being taken from the restroom to Ms. McCarthy's office directly. The sheriff called my name twice, "Heather..Heather", I was very afraid I would be arrested for littering, leaving my beloved signs in the restroom. The sheriff was very nice and said if I wanted a meeting with Ms. McCarthy to go now and it only be me (and my dog Scooter). I entered the meeting room and it was herself and possibly her assistant Colleen, however she never identified herself. I told them how I have taken 3 1/2 MONTHS off of work. I explained my situation - the clerk shredded an order, my mother passed away and is now missing because the county allowed her to be removed before pronouncing her passed. She coldly responded, "Let me look into this." I did ask her for a personal opinion, under her leadership did she think it was OK for a clerk shred government documents, reminding her it was a felon. She looked perplexed and spouted out, "Well, there's two sides to every story." Complete idiot. I also asked her to clarify the end of life law in Pierce County and to figure out why a citizen does not need to be medically pronounced dead before they are taken away to the funeral home. Again, perplexed and clueless look as a response. Pat McCarthy oversees a $1 billion budget and is responsible for the lives over nearly 1 million citizens. She cost a citizen 3+ months from work and still no answers due to negligence under her leadership. McCarthy is unfit for the Washington State Auditor's position. Her opponent, Mark Miloscia, is much more qualified: intelligent, transparent, and honest. I called him on a Saturday once and he answered his phone on the 2nd ring and talked to me for 5 minutes.

A citizen with such concern in Pierce County should never have to wait so long to get answers and still have no answers at the time of writing this. I was unimpressed with her demeanor as she seems part of this establishment. Her husband, John McCarthy, is a former Superior Court Judge and she is a career politician. Anyhow, that is how I finally got my 5 minutes with Ms. McCarthy, apparently the Pope of Pierce County and nearly impossible for a citizen to ever meet her in real life. And if you never meet her, do not worry, you are not missing much.

1/7/17 Update - In attempt to repair her reputation, she created this piece of propaganda before leaving. My own opinion may be found in YouTube's comments. And for the record, she never called me back before she left office.
