00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.399
the clark County public administrators office has been mired in

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:07.190
turmoil and internal dissension for two years with workers claiming

00:00:07.190 --> 00:00:11.710
emotional stress, bullying and favoritism, robert tells who

00:00:11.710 --> 00:00:15.189
leads the office has also faced allegations of an inappropriate

00:00:15.189 --> 00:00:18.519
relationship with a coworker, roberta lee kennett in an

00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.859
interview with review journal investigative reporter, Jeff Chairman,

00:00:21.870 --> 00:00:26.149
tell us disputed several complaints. What is your reaction

00:00:26.149 --> 00:00:30.410
to the, to the allegations from these employees that

00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:34.640
you have created a hostile environment in this office?

00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:37.229
Yeah. You know, earlier, I introduced you

00:00:37.229 --> 00:00:40.149
to, to the other seven team members. And

00:00:40.729 --> 00:00:44.950
are there folks who welcome with a great attitude and

00:00:44.950 --> 00:00:48.259
they work hard and together them and I we are

00:00:48.630 --> 00:00:50.850
we are what is making the difference with the performance

00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:54.070
of this office? I've done my best to try

00:00:54.070 --> 00:00:56.710
to make everyone happy. But again, it's it's

00:00:56.710 --> 00:01:00.310
got to be within a certain framework. People just

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.950
cannot get to do whatever they want. You know

00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:07.909
, and it's unfortunate that, you know, we've

00:01:07.909 --> 00:01:11.519
got some people who were here from before who are

00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.629
basically trying to railroad me again. You, you

00:01:15.629 --> 00:01:18.140
met those, those other folks, you know,

00:01:18.140 --> 00:01:21.019
they're happy. They're dedicated and we're just here to

00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:23.379
do a good job. Tell us who's up for

00:01:23.379 --> 00:01:26.480
re election in the june primary blames a handful of

00:01:26.489 --> 00:01:29.730
old timers for claims about a hostile environment in the

00:01:29.730 --> 00:01:34.079
office. Again, no matter what type of gestures

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.859
I try to make to to smooth things over to

00:01:37.870 --> 00:01:40.700
make sure that they're happy. You know, they

00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:44.859
just don't, you know, it's it's nonstop and

00:01:44.859 --> 00:01:46.549
and again, like I said, it's it's hard

00:01:46.549 --> 00:01:49.349
for me to to make sure that I am,

00:01:49.790 --> 00:01:51.409
that's your leader. For the folks who are doing

00:01:51.409 --> 00:01:53.340
really good work when I've got these other folks who

00:01:53.340 --> 00:02:00.150
are constantly, you know, surveilling me constantly trying

00:02:00.150 --> 00:02:02.579
to sabotage the office. But you know, we're

00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:07.140
doing it. But it's hard to tell us denied

00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:10.430
allegations of any improper relationship with lee kennett. When

00:02:10.430 --> 00:02:16.710
you hear people raising these allegations, right? Come

00:02:16.710 --> 00:02:20.879
on, personal relationships. What do you what how

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.150
do you what do you say to people about that

00:02:23.539 --> 00:02:24.500
? Obviously, it's not true. I said,

00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:28.759
I am, you know, all of my friends

00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.180
, all my family know how much I love my

00:02:30.180 --> 00:02:35.099
wife. And if you look at, you know

00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:37.020
, obviously, you you can't talk to the people

00:02:37.020 --> 00:02:38.150
I deal with on a daily basis, you know

00:02:38.740 --> 00:02:42.099
? But from my social media, from everything you

00:02:42.099 --> 00:02:46.639
can see that I right, I am about nothing

00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.520
but justice fairness. And just just being a good

00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.090
person and it sickens me, it destroys me that

00:02:53.490 --> 00:02:57.659
that somebody would even level, like accusations like that

00:02:58.539 --> 00:03:02.389
. Because it's I don't know, it's it's unreal

00:03:02.580 --> 00:03:05.270
. It's unreal. The lengths that they're going to

00:03:05.270 --> 00:03:08.139
. They don't have any homes trying to ruin my

00:03:08.139 --> 00:03:14.460
personal life, two to get to win this race
