A "foil" for government misconduct. A tiny department with a big name that at in the best case scenario they can write report about the problem to the legislature. The ombudsman exists to make us feel like the government is doing something but not be a threat to DSHS authority.<br /><br />In reality they provide a perfect haven for DSHS risk management to store documents they dont want to disclose but cant destroy. Employees of the ombudsman answer to absolutely no one, including the governor. The legislative body that supposedly supervisors Meinig is uninvolved and has shown no interest in the quality of her stewardship over the decades she has served as queen rat. <br /><br />The ombudsman records are untouchable by public disclosure and their employees armored in qualified privilege all to "protect their neutrality". They are above any form of public accountability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
