Don, Before you ask, YES, I know Connie Goon personally.  As a matter of fact, we have spoken about your recent thread that she obtained her job by means other than her qualifications.  Connie Goon's qualifications, let me fill you in on just a small portion of her qualifications.  Ohio Police Officer, Ohio Law Enforcement, Wooster, Ohio, Clay County Sheriff's Office Deputy (almost five years), and the first Officer Friendly under Sheriff Dalton Bray.  Connie is a Ritualistic Abuse Investigator through FDLE and, while empoyed at the Clay County Sheriff's Office, taught Law Studies at Orange Park High School for four years.  Connie is also a Certified Animal Control Officer.  This is just to name a few.

Connie is highly upset that you have insinuated, for all to read, that she may have gotten her job as Clay County Animal Control's Director by sleeping her way to the top.  Her husband Jeff Goon, whom she has been married to for 32 years, is currently a highly respected law enforcement officer.  He is extremely upset in regards to your inuendo.

Connie is fully aware that, as a public servant, there will be times when she will be abused by the public and she readily accepts and acknowledges any expressions of poor judgements that she may have used in the past.  However, her record speaks for itself.  You should know that Don, since you requested and received her entire personnel file.  Connie was the first director for Clay County of Animal Control; it was nothing more than a hole in the wall when she gave up her law enforcement career and took the position.  She did so because of her love for animals.  Connie has in no way asked me to write this blog but I feel compelled as I think that you have stepped over the line.  This a fine lady and she does not deserve the constant bashing that she and her division are receiving.  It is my opinion that you have breached the My Clay Sun agreement by your suggestion that Connie acted improperly to obtain her position.

For those of you who are reading this thread, if you believe that Connie Goon is some sort of low life; she is not. All you have to do is go to Animal Control and ask to meet the Director and I believe that you will be pleasantly surprised.
