After the website launched, the county then turned it over to the Nonprofit controlled by the the gentlemen that produced the website for $340,000.00. Deputy county manager Jacque Sanders, Tommie Martin's sister, said with the transfer, the nonprofit will manage the tourism site. Sanders told the board the benefits of having the site managed by a nonprofit entity is that it can now qualify for private donations and grant opportunities. Thus more money! The Payson Roundup
The Board of Supervisors is breaking the law by not have the required elections. The BOS has control on how they are spending the money that has been allocated to the Fire Board. Recently there was money taken from the Fire Boards budget, $750,000 paid in Bitcoin for a randsom on the recent IT Data breach with the County, and why it was down for 2 weeks. The Auditor General's report gave the county 3 years notice that their data could be compromised.
The Director of Planning and Zoning has built on forest land, did not follow setback requirements. has added 3,000 sq ft on to his home without adding to the septic system, and has blocked a public road with a gate. The County secretly offered to let him buy the public road for around $350 but local residences objected when they found out his employees signed a petition to allow this to happen and they don't even live in the area. Payson Roundup and Watch Hallie Onsite.

A recent article in the Payson Roundup spotlighted some grave fiduciary shortcomings in our district relative to filing audits and general accountability for expenses incurred by our incumbent County Supervisor, Tommie Martin. Tommie deflected much of the criticism of her tenure by blaming she was outnumbered by the votes of the other two county supervisors. Well, she has been the incumbent for 15 years.
Certainly, Tommie Martin’s performance should not be rewarded by voting her into office again. The residents of Gila County are and have been the recipients of ineptitude and mismanagement.
The salaries in Gila County for relatives and friends of Tommie Martin are taking millions of dollars a year in over inflated salaries, 150% - 200% higher than the median salary in Gila County. Your tax dollars are being wasted through nepotism, by Martin in our County Government.
This is a cabin that has no septic system that is right on the river in Verde Glen. The raw sewage is being put into the ground 15 feet from the river.
The County has been actively enforcing other road and septic rules to nearby residences, but why not enforce this home?
Hallie does not believe in wasting taxpayer money and holds accountability on how the funds are spent and managed, therefore reducing taxes.
Hallie believes that In order to get a County job or County contract, you have to be qualified. Being a friend or family is not a qualification. Hard work does.
Hallie will follow the existing policies and procedures and require awarded entities to report and certify how monies were spent and implement performance measures.
