Several incidents ‘concerning the violations are ongoing and occurred within the I year: Here are the reasons why Ibeliove it wil be in your best interest to consider my grievances ‘As you are aware, I brought active cases against the county school system and against a lawyer (Ms, Ardra M.

Additonal evidence was presented later ‘98 promised through email and personal delivery. Subsequently, Ihave presented Ms. Angela Denoece Alsobrooks Esq with evidence that showed that PGCPS CEO De. Monica Goldson was ‘io fit for office. There is clear evidence that she was atthe center of the numerous public corruption scandals about which my colleagues and I complained about previously. Dr Goldson's tenure can only make things worse with private interest groups and vendors interested jn unmonitored system finances without an inspector general During County Executive Ms, Angela Deneece Alsobrooks Faq tenure asthe Prince George”s County State's Attorney, we interacted alot as she were a member of one of the Facebook groups which I managed.

Baker. Unknown to Mr. Mua this was not a genuine change of leadership but an intentional and dishonest set up. (On June 1, 2013, County Executive Me. Rusher Baker appointed Dr. Segun Fubanks {his brother-in-law) to become the next Board of Education chairperson in Prince George's County. Since that time, he has influenced the appointment of close friends to ‘ep management jobs within the school system without proper oversight. Among those areas of concer has been the legal department in which Mr. Mua complained about before the current fiasco involving Thatcher Law firm. Over $20 million dollars of reserve funds has been used to pay these close friends who are politically connected to ‘hem, On June, 262012, Dr, Charlone Dukes a ole friend of County Excoutive Mr. Ruchern Baker who served as his Education liaison and transition of the county atthe beckoning. ‘of Mr. Baker conspired to reverse the decision ofthe Administrative Law Judge Brian Zlotnick and issued a diverse opinion in retaliation after Mr. Mua disclosed conflicts involving ber. ‘On June, 27" 2013, Mr. Christian Rhodes -Education Policy Advisor forthe Office of ‘the County Executive invited Mr. Mua to meet with the new CEO.

Mr. Mua had hoped problems within the county schools were going to be fed. Shortly thereafter, his ‘complaint in Prince George's Circuit Court was dismissed ina capricious manner, 10.

Shortly after the January 10*, 2014 email and letter, Citeuit Court Judge issued a diverse order in which he denied all Mr. Mua's motions. Thre is a causal connection between the protected activity and the adverse action in which Mfr. Mua experienced. - On January 25, 2014, Mr. Mua met with the county executive Mr. Rushern Baker atthe House of Delegates in Annapolis Maryland and he promised Mr. Mua help the following ‘week.

Shorlly after that, Mr. Hawkins walked past Mr. Mua and sad “Are you ready to tak now?" and then added, “I don’t have the time: 1 On April 7, 2014, The Circuit Cour affirmed the decision ofthe lower court without the due process of the law and in retaliation. A process which was repeated recently on or July 2019. ‘Throughout this litigation, Mr. Mua has witnessed things which are out ofthe orderly within the ‘county. At this point, Mr. Mua is asking the council to request the county Executives to keep their influence out of the judicial system and legislature, and respect separation of powers. Prince George's County is going through a willful, premeditated, deliberate and shameless ‘corruption ofthe system of justice, wth the highest ranks ofthe County government being‘The Prince George's County Attorney ~ Notice Friday, October 4, 2019 Page 6 of page 28 ‘implicated on an assault on law and order, Mr. Mus has witnessed unilateral and illegal decisions and statements that show disregard forthe separation of powers and a taste forthe old way’ in which the Judiciary was an extension ofthe County Executive and a tool ofthe ruling political elite including the legislature, Ina democratic system, Legislature makes the law, the Juditary mtespres it and the Ixecutive “duty is to execute. “Onee legislature makes a law, the only option for etizens unhappy with iis to go to court. Once the court interpre the law, i is final. Mr, Mua is appealing tothe council to prevail upon the County Executive and other arms of government to end unprecedented misuse ‘of the judicial system, especially the Circuit Court of Prince George’s County in Upper ‘Marlboro, The council should decide whether we are going to be governed by the Rule of Law or the law of oligerchical rue. Leaders must keep their hands off the courts to ensure judicial dependence and the principle of Separation of Powers is upheld. This, will allow the desired independence ofthe Judiciary in this county ‘Throughout his fist and second term, County Executive Mr. Rushem Baker hes worked closely With the retired and eurrent judges in the Prince George's County cireuit court. One of which was the late Honorable Judge William D. Missouri of whom Mr, Mus spoke with conceming the problems within the county schools.

Code § 2-1401.01 et seq, the Bias Related Crime Act of 1989, D.C. Code § 22-3701 et seq., and District of Columbia tort law. Other violations, which are ongoing, involve the use of the legal system to harass me using organizations such asthe ASASP Union controlled by close friend of County Executive Alsobrooks, (Mrs. Doris Reed), whose union filed a malicious lawsuit atthe beckoning of Dr. Moniea Goldson last year in order to harass me and the case was Aismissed in December 2018 and again on February 2019. (See, e.g, ASASP filed a malicious lawsuit in Montgomery county creuit court ease No. 453711V and harassed my wife) Union corruption brought to County Executive Alsobrooks close attention, instead of being prosecuted, was covered up in a bizarre pattem. Employees with strong tis to the Unions and sororites/ratermities have been promoted 10 Facilitate what appears tobe ongoing illegal activities. There have been major cover-ups involving close ftiends of Doris Reed, Dr. Charlene Dukes, Dr. Monica Goldson, Mr. Christian Rhodes and others engaged in retaliation against me {or exposing their criminal violations. Some county school system personnel ~ including Laurel High School Principal Mr. Dwayne Jones and former Principal of Forestville Military academy Mr. James Smallwood ~- engaged in major misconduct as Union Executives under Doris Reed. Uniortunately, Mr. Jones and Mr. Smallwood have been allowed to retire with Benefits instead of | ‘being investigated or fied for willl violations of the law. On or before his retirement, Mr. Dwayne Jones arranged for his “mistress,” Captain Deborah Toppins, to be promoted asa Field (Operations Supervisor inthe PGCPS Department of Security Services so she could become the eyes and ears of the corrupt cartel within the Prince George's county sehool system. The ilicit ffi, involving Dwayne Jones and Deborah Toppins, was highlighted during the administrative sppeal. The county system, as part of anilegal scheme, chose to cover it by bribing the lawyers and transriber involved in the administrative appeal hearings. Many of thee allegations are in violation of Maryland law as well as District of Columbia's Bias-Related Crime Act of 1989 and. ‘the District's eriminal law in whieh some honorable judges appear to have been compromised sand lawyers have evidence of supervisors like those mentioned above and others especially Traketa Wray, Roslyn Hawkins and Shanita Anderson under the corrupt, bullying tutelage of a former Labor Relations (LR) Director, plotting with others to get me fred though I had a satisfictory to exemplary teaching career for 10+ years.
