What About Bob?
Part IV: What About Bob?
This week we continue posting excerpts from the 2005 Report and Follow-up Addendum which was submitted to the IRS-Criminal Investigation Division, the FBI, the GBI and Attorney General Thurbert Baker. Once again we remind readers that this report was evolving during 2004 and 2005, but it helps to define persons close to Mario Armas, primarily, District Attorney Leigh Patterson, and Bob Saylors, who went to work for Mario Armas, officially, when he was forced to resign from the Rome-Floyd Parks and Recreation Authority.
RFPRA Upper Management and Family-
1. Bob Saylors, RFPRA Executive Director - In addition to the abysmal leadership and the total lack of accountability displayed by Bob Saylors financially, he has also encountered numerous other problems, which in the private sector, would normally have cost him his job. For one instance, Mr. Saylors, contrary to Georgia Code, hired his own son as a full time RFPRA employee. When this was called to the attention of the local newspaper, the authority required that he dismiss his son, but the RFPRA did not dismiss Bob Saylors, even though he had broken the law!
Just two months prior to that incident, a complaint was filed by a family against Bob Saylors when he apparently accosted an eight year old child and his mother with screams and abusive language, because the boy, who Mr. Saylors thought was too big, was discovered playing on new parks playground equipment. Even though there were witnesses, Mr. Saylors was not dismissed by the RFPRA Board, only reprimanded, and required to attend anger management counseling.
