WARREN Documents obtained by the Tribune Chronicle indicate the rising tensions between two Trumbull County officials.
Emails exchanged between Trumbull County Commissioner Niki Frenchko and Richard Jackson, head of the county human resources department, about employee complaints that originated after Frenchko brought her cat to work, included attempts by Frenchko to get Jackson to retract statements he made to the Tribune Chronicle concerning the issue, and accused him of being “out of control” for relating the information to the press.
“I suggest you retract any specific statements that support or relate to an employee’s claim immediately,” Frenchko’s email to Jackson states. She also questioned who authorized him to answer a reporter’s questions.
