He does not make slap happy decisions and isn't looking to better his own name. The legislatures are angry because Mr. Nedelkoff is knowledgeable and has taken a firm stance against the negative in TYC, aka the people they put in place. I have always said the legislature had a motive which was to have TYC placed under TDCJ during the Sunset Review however Mr. Nedelkoff has other plans, he knows you cannot treat juveniles like Adult Criminals, it isn't therapeutic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-67888525817186729362008-02-11T11:59:00.000-06:002008-02-11T11:59:00.000-06:00Breaking NewsTexas Youth Commission Acting Executi...<B>Breaking News</B><BR/><BR/>Texas Youth Commission Acting Executive Director Dimitria Pope will either resign or be terminated by the end of the day, high ranking state officials said Monday.

The 5:03 was written by a mean-spirited jackass, and probably someone whose job is dependent on Dimitria Pope keeping her position.<BR/><BR/>I'll only respond further by saying that Nedelkoff's family lives in Austin! He moved back here in part for the chance to be closer to his kids. Perhaps learning that, for just a moment, you'll feel as stupid as you really are.<BR/><BR/>I wish the 5:03 poster had the courage to put their name on such drivel so we could all judge <I>their</I> personal life choices and piss on their family in public forums.<BR/><BR/>Nedelkoff's ex-wife knows him and how he treats his family better than any of you, and she's the one standing up for him, quite honorably, IMO, considering they're estranged. Stop that insulting crap. Be more respectful or I'll just start deleting wholesale on this string - it's dead wrong, cowardly and rank to make that attack.<BR/><BR/>Since our friend the troll apparently has no shame, let me say I'm ashamed on their behalf, and on behalf of this blog. Kristen I'm sorry you were subjected to this crap.

Quit his steady job for a lower paying temporary job<BR/><BR/>4. After a couple of months has still not fired Pope (is he really running TYC)<BR/><BR/>5.

I think I will hold off judgment till I see something of substance from Mr. Nedelkoff. So far the only positive thing he has done is encourage Bronco Billy to move on and send out a few fuzzy feeling emails.

And where was Whitmire's concern when Perry, Kimbrough, Owens, and Pope appointed their own cronies to top jobs at TYC without posting a job announcement? <BR/><BR/>And regarding that salary: Whitmire is only complaining about it because he knows it won't benefit Pope! I bet he'd shut his mouth about the issue if she were the one getting it. <BR/><BR/>Whitmire, show a little bit of class already. Stop being a hypocrite and quit bullying people. <BR/><BR/>And fellow co-workers, we need to somehow show our support for Mr. Nedelkoff. I have already sent him an email offering my support, however modest it may be. If all we ever do is post comments to Grits, the Popes and Whitmires will just stop reading Grits!
