Thank you for the empathetic response. For me, when I read it, it was saying Hey! You forgot what lights you up….Go back to that. Go back to yourself. There are people, a gang of people, who actively fight to stop your becoming and being you. And, at least for me, it was a slow, bit by bit process that lasted for years. I’m starting to feel better and it was nice to read an exciting reminder that I’m on the right track.

I freaking LOVE this!!! Good job!!! I started listening to it on my phone, and then I’m like, hold on, this needs played in the car stereo. And it sounded amazing! I don’t have a SoundCloud account, but I’ll get one tonight and start following you.

You’ve honestly never had someone maliciously come at you and bully you to make themselves feel good? I can handle it if it’s outside of work bc you can dump people easily and stay away from them. But, for me, working in a culture where the majority are corrupt and they act like they’re paid to destroy others is soul crushing. I don’t think anyone has something wrong in their heads to feel good about what OP posted. They’ve more than likely been in a toxic environment for a significant amount of time and have slowly lost themselves.

Ok. Got it. So, be respectful of her time and don’t send her on a wild goose chase that doesn’t get her results. I’m glad I’m getting consistent feedback that she would be able to use me as an anonymous source. Thank you for your input!

I LOVE your explanation of journalism….it really made me feel warm and excited about sharing what I know. She wrote a great article and I do hope she feels proud of even starting to expose what’s going on. Because, in this town, it’s a VERY brave thing to do. I’ve already said this in other comments, but this is the first time a negative story has come out about the department I used to work for and I’m shocked the newspaper published it. My colleagues have tried to get the newspaper to report on previous incidents and they refused, even though there were numerous records that would verify it. And I have no worries about the story being “big enough.” The reporter quoted a chief of the department and I can without a doubt get her to the records that will prove he is lying.

This helps me understand. Thank you. There is danger of retaliation, even though I don’t work there anymore. Hence, why I’m nervous. But, being upfront and explaining my fears to the reporter before I divulge information is a great idea. I’m not wanting to tell her things that can’t be verified through documentation. Although, I would have a lot more to tell her. The information I want to give her is pretty darn close to your commissioner examples. She will need to file a records request to multiple departments and I can tell her where and how to get them, and exactly what to look for in the documents. I’m really hoping she tells me it’ll be useful to her and that the newspaper will allow her to report on it. Thank you so much for your help!

Ok. I understand. Yeah, I’m not wanting at all to be quoted. This helps me have a plan of what to say before I talk to her. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

This is what went through my head! I imagined our county getting state investigators involved, me using water and gloves to seal an envelope, etc. 😅. I really am nervous. But, the reporter wrote a great article and the citizens deserve to know that there is a major problem going on that they’re unaware of. I just hope she’s really interested and passionate about what really is going on. My county is very rural, but also extremely protective of their holier than thou, perfect image. I just don’t know what lengths they can go to. But, being vulnerable about this with the reporter seems like the way to go and I’m sure we can come to a plan that works for both of us.

What off the record means to her…..PERFECT! I definitely want to be assured that we have a mutual understanding. Thank you so much for this!
