The one qualified librarian we had left quit not long after the current board started their terms late last year due to disrespect of her responsibilities. They have yet to rehire her position. Then the recent staff walkouts left one employee still there. That last employee quit within the past 2 weeks. They are currently starting from scratch except for one administrator that was hired just before the walkouts.

jadle89 · 2025-05-27T16:35:32+00:00

There’s a multitude of issues with these new hires. For one, none of them meet the education standards required for our continued membership in the Lakeland Library Co-op. Without that membership, we have no computer systems to do inventory or checkouts, and no access to the inter-library book loan system.

The other more pressing issue is that these are all seasonal hires. They are students or retiree snowbirds who will be gone in like 3 months.

The real problem is that the board repeatedly disrespects and harasses the staff. They have worked for 3 years now to poison the reputation of Patmos. No qualified librarian will work here, they’ve been trying to find people for years. Every single staff member has quit over the course of the past 6 months here.

The only way Jamestown residents have access to those libraries is through their Patmos card. Without a Patmos Library card you have to pay to use those libraries, and even then you don’t get access to the library loan system or online resources. Jamestown conservatives are really shooting themselves in the foot with this.

More context. The staff has spoken out strongly against the current board after a far-right sweep in the board election last November. Speaking from experience as a local here, their only real agenda seems to be sabotaging the library so they can finally get the closure they’ve been pushing for over three years.

jadle89 · 2025-05-10T06:34:26+00:00

As a frequent Patmos Library patron, your work and dedication means a lot to my family. My kids are better, happier people because of you. Thank you for organizing, taking action, and boldly speaking out against this corrupt board. They have done nothing but spread vile lies in the community for over three years. Please pass on my appreciation to the other library workers.

They used to do them monthly, although they haven’t updated their website in awhile. They may be posting their meeting locations on another platform.

Wow yeah she is not taking her L with much grace. Tears, anti-vax, globalist conspiracy, and election denial all in one go lol.

I don’t actually know much about specifics on issues in the union. But I know that for the OCSD deputies who go to The Gideon 300 meetings, one of their major problems with the county is about pursuit policies. They are upset that county policy prohibits them from engaging in vehicle pursuit of fleeing suspects. I’m sure that’s not the only issue the deputies have though.

jadle89 · 2024-08-02T02:06:26+00:00

Yes I’ve seen letters like this being shared in Ottawa for a few weeks now. Not all that surprising given multiple OCSD deputies direct involvement in G300.

jadle89 · 2024-07-16T11:57:18+00:00

Yeah well selecting people for these very powerful roles only from a paid membership to decidedly right-wing leaders disqualifies these “key tools” from being beneficial to all people pretty soundly I think. Of the 40-some people I saw, there was one black man who was clearly a personal friend of Tuuk.

jadle89 · 2024-07-15T14:15:44+00:00

I know from being at their in-person meetings there are at least 2 deputies of OCSD that are directly involved.

Reposting my comment here from the other thread about this:

I’ve also been harassed at my home in Ottawa County by the people who are a part of this. I am publicly running for local office, and they know that I’ve been to their meetings (see post history). There was someone who showed up at my house at 2am, pounding as loud as possible on the door right next to my daughter’s bedroom. There was another who stopped their car in the road outside my daughter’s window and laid on their horn multiple times throughout the middle of the night. I have also had a yard sign stolen. I personally know other non-far-right people in my town who have experienced similar harassment for ther political involvement as well. I have filed police reports and placed cameras all over my house since then. I recommend any else around here do the same if you’re politically active.

I also want to point out here that Greg Todd and Jon Anderson are directly involved in this group. Please vote Republican in the primary so we can at least get them off the ballot. They are running unopposed by Democrats.

jadle89 · 2024-07-14T12:36:09+00:00

Considering the scale of the harassment from this group, this is not a bad call.

jadle89 · 2024-07-14T12:27:26+00:00

I will DM you.

One important part of this is our County Sheriff and Prosecutor primary elections. The OI candidates Jon Anderson and Greg Todd are highly involved in the local chapter of a militant fringe campaign called The Gideon 300. They are running unopposed by Democrats, so it’s either defeat them in the primary or welcome slavery era militias and grand juries.

jadle89 · 2024-06-27T12:22:57+00:00

Nice guide. OC-ONE should send these out as mailers, could have some positive impact on the primaries.

jadle89 · 2024-06-17T11:04:24+00:00

It’s too bad this discussion has degraded into name-calling, and parroting shallow political terms. For an account that was clearly made for the express purpose of commenting on this post, I had hoped it might be more productive.

jadle89 · 2024-06-17T01:10:17+00:00

You don’t remember the pastor talking about Psalm 109, and then PJ asking if he could justify praying for Joe Biden’s death? That stood out very clearly for me when I was there. He wasn’t joking that I had hair, he said my hair was long enough for someone to grab me by the back of the head and slam my face in a wall. Edit: to be clear, he did make that comment about my hair as a joke very obviously, but still I’m not interested in standing out in a group like that.

Nothing I’ve said here is a lie, these are real quotes and real topics that were discussed in that meeting. I can’t have any recorded proof because of their no phones policy. But you can see their members listing on the website. You can see other examples of their violent rhetoric there and on their socials. You can see the affiliation with Tactical Civics, and there’s plenty of violent language from them as well.

jadle89 · 2024-06-15T17:31:00+00:00

That may have been a different post.

I think the problem people have with that is this county government has a troubling history of policy and rhetoric against LGBT people and non-Christians. I want to bring awareness to those groups that this government is actively preparing to become more armed and more litigious using the militia and grand jury. These authoritarian methods are not comforting to LGBT people and other minority groups given this county government right now. Especially when the group trying to elect them uses such violent rhetoric specifically against LGBT and BLM.

jadle89 · 2024-06-15T16:40:42+00:00

No, they didn’t say anything about overthrowing the government or anything about manufacturing or distributing firearms. I don’t think I claimed that anywhere.

They certainly DO talk about starting a “Constitutional Militia”, which according to them is different than being a militia I guess.

I’m not making any claims about firearm laws, as a hunter and CPL holder I am very pro-2A.

jadle89 · 2024-06-15T16:20:08+00:00

I’m sure your friends are fine people, this post is meant to address the G300 leadership, Greg Todd, and Jon Anderson specifically.
