George, check out the Keys News Story that announced to the community that Heavilin broke the law @ http://keysnews.com/node/43505 Also read the federal law of the Hatch Act. Under the Federal Law Prohibited Activities For State and Local Employees. • May NOT be a candidate for public office in a partisan election (she ran as a Republican) • May NOT use official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the results of an election or a nomination for office (she announced at every forum what she did and her 9 perfect audit record duh) • May NOT directly or indirectly coerce contributions from subordinates in support of a political party or candidate (She asked co-workers to give her their vacation time to aid her being off work for her campaign and ask for contributions as well) CAUTION: An employee’s conduct is also subject to the laws of the state and the regulations of the employing agency. Prohibitions of the Hatch Act are NOT affected by state or local laws. (SEE: Title 5 of the United States Code, Sections 1501-1508 and Title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations part 151) Those wishing to further complain that a unqualified FEDERAL LAW BREAKING Candidate is being seated in our county even though Heavilin is disqualified per federal law may get answers to specific questions regarding political activity by calling OSC at 800-85-HATCH (854-2824) or 202-254-3650. You may also file a compliant with the OSC. Its your COUNTY People, do you want a law breaker to run the county money while you look the other way or are you going to make Heavilin accountable for her illegal actions? Heavilin has proved she has no integrity or she would have already stepped down. Heavilin yes, BROKE the LAW to WIN the Campaign. As to her denial of knowledge over the Federal law, lets remember IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE! Requests for written advisories may be made to the: U. S.
