After spending a
long day at work, I again find myself looking at this large stack of
notes on my desk regarding the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans. In
attempting to sort thru it, some interesting things have surfaced and I
am asking for your help for clarification.
What I am looking for is anybody who can verify any of the following.
----- Before Sara took over as Administrator of the Home, we had Brig. General Carol Ann Fausone. I have been asked to verify that the General was escorted out of the Home in handcuffs, only to return the next day, free as a bird. The General is currently a Republican candidate for State Representative in the 21st District which is the 21st state district. With her platform being one based on experience, leadership and integrity, I would like verification of what is allegedly being said about her. I think you agree that the residents in that voting district have a right to know. Of course, with her husband Jim being a lawyer who fights for veterans, it is easily understood how all this might have gotten shoved under the rug AND how this could be a conflict of interest.
----- Now this is a delicate issue I would sure like to have verified. Once upon a time, there was a man named Eric. I believe that Eric did some accounting and finance work at the Home. I have been asked to validate that Eric and our fine lady administrator, Sara, enjoyed some :intimacy” on the Conference Room table. Did this really happen? Is it true that the security officer and house cleaner who witnessed this were immediately dismissed? Is it also true that this security officer is now a member of Kent County’s finest?
Many questions and I have no answers. Somebody out there knows the details of all of this. Can you come forward and let me know? Trust me. Your anonymity will be kept. A reporter such as I would never reveal my source.

Retired Brigadier General Carol Ann Fausone is the owner of a small
business called The Veteran Advocate. Carol Ann Fausone is running for
state representative in District 21 which includes Canton (her
hometown), Belleville and Van Buren Township (not county) . Please note
correct area of her campaign. Her husband Jim (a lawyer) can currently be heard on
Veterans Radio on a station in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
End.
Wondering, If this person was a good administrator, why isn't she there now?

Update: 27 June 2014. I had a lunch meeting today at the Veterans outreach center on Century Ave down town, to give a presentation on veterans benefits and where guys can get help. There I ran into Dan, aka "scooter", a former member of Rankin 1, which is a nursing unit at the home.
Dan said he was sitting out side the front entrance when a US Air Force Master Sargent came in and placed then Administrator Carol Fausone, in hand cuffs and took her off the property. She returned the next day.
Dan said he left the home in 2012, due to the fact that the home was taking all of his money, and that they took 4 million from him.
Now I seriously doubt they took 4 million from Dan. But hes not the only one to tell me about the handcuff incident. That is why we are asking for information, so that we can get to the bottom of this.

General Fausone wsa never taken out of here in handcuffs. Her husband is a lawyer. I have no kbnowledge of any "intimate" relationship with Sara & Eric; if they had one in the past, they are not currently having one. No Security Officer or Housekeeper was fired for reportedly finding them in an embarassing position. I am an employee of the Home, in a management position that has knowledge of the inner operations.
ReplyDeleteStrange, then tell me why 2 security people told me about the Sara and Eric adventure? And why several volunteers have mentioned it as well. No I doubt they are having one now, getting caught the first time should have taught them a lesson not to do it on the homes property.
ReplyDeleteAs for Fausone, This was reported by 3 resident veterans.
I think we need to get to the bottom of these rumors.
