CAUGHT WITH HER HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR ??

by Bob Walsh

Pamela Fyock was the director of both the Sacramento County Fair and the Tulare county fair.  This is sort of an odd arrangement as most of the county fairs have their own boards of directors but technically work for the State Dept. of Agriculture.  

The state has just completed two audits of Ms. Fyock and handed her her hat.  She was apparently / allegedly double or even triple submitting for expenses and then destroyed many of the expense records in violation of specific state law concerning records retention.     

The Sacramento board met in emergency session last week and voted to put Fyock on a 120-day "professional improvement plan" but the Dept. of Agriculture said FUCK THAT and sacked her ass.  

In 2018 the Sacramento County Fair generated a tad over $800k in revenue.  More recent records are not available.  

Ms. Fyock paid herself a total of $242,2230 in expense money over five years.  Of that, $107,230 have zero paperwork to support the payments.  

Fyock is also alleged to have handed out sweetheart contracts, much of the payment for which ended up in her pocket.
