Washington County Commissioners are expected to approve a measure Thursday afternoon to enter into a contract with Susquehanna Accounting and Consulting Solutions of Harrisburg to provide needed services in the County’s Finance Department. Washington County Commissioners Chairwoman Diana Irey Vaughan says that department is in “crisis mode” following the departure of three individuals since the end of June. Longtime Director Joshua Hatfield left to take another job and two others have since departed. Irey Vaughan says she has never experienced anything like this in her 28-years as a Commissioner. County government also recently saw Chief of Staff Mike Namie and Human Services Director Kim Rodgers retire. According to Irey Vaughan, there has been a “toxic environment” within County government “for the past several years” and because of that potential candidates are rejecting job opportunities because of the upcoming election and the uncertainty that exists in regards to longterm viability in the job because of changes to leadership on the Board of Commissioners.
