The chief judge of Wisconsin's Ninth Judicial District has disciplined the Lincoln County clerk of courts, Cindy Kimmons, for inappropriate conduct in which Kimmons placed an offensive personal note in a woman's case file impugning that woman's character.The incident involved a paternity case. At one point, the woman had sought to negotiate a payment plan for an outstanding debt to the court, and had sent a letter to the clerk's office asking for such an arrangement instead of the clerk's intercept of a state tax refund.
An office employee attached a Post-it note to the letter - "Cindy, what do you want me to do with this?" - and forwarded it to Kimmons. The clerk's handwritten response, also on a Post-it note and then attached to the letter in the case file, included far more than just a decision on the request for a payment plan.

This is a prime example of what the courts in general think of the people who have to come before them.
ReplyDeleteWell, isn't Cindy cute?
ReplyDeleteShe should have been disciplined, fined - and maybe even fired. This is outrageous.
Did she even apologize for her bad behavior?
ReplyDeleteShe must have been kidding - and just doesn't realize this is no joking matter. I do not believe she meant any real harm.
ReplyDeleteVery unprofessional. And a stupid thing to do.
ReplyDeletei think Kimmons is lacking in self-control and character she needs to remove herself from her position post haste let someone with ethics have the job and darned good benefits i have to wonder what else did Kimmons do to harm others
