Her attorney, T. Scott Jones, recently filed three requests with the court. One to dismiss the case, one to disqualify District Attorney Russ Johnson, from presenting the case because he knows too many details about the case, and one to ask for interrogatories. Yet Hurley's attorney hasn't yet answered the original court summons filed by the DA back in March.

According to Hurley's attorney,  

"It is Hurley's position that her residency issue is a pre-text and that this actually a political dispute between commissioner Hurley and Mr. Johnson, Mr. Cullen and Van Shaver with the later three elected officials trying to remove her from office on political grounds." T Scott Jones.

So according to Ms. Hurley, this whole issue is all political and DA Johnson, Commission Chairman Henry Cullen and myself are just trying to kick her out of office. Apparently, Ms. Hurley forgot she was the one who moved out of her elected district and announced it to the world through Facebook.

Remember when your parents warned you about telling little white lies? That after you tell one lie, you just have to keep telling bigger and bigger lies to cover that first little white lie. Seems that's the predicament Ms. Hurley finds herself in.

When first asked about her move from her elected district by chairman Cullen, she stated that she had not moved and was still living in the same house she lived in when elected. Lie #1. Then she told County Mayor Bradshaw that she actually had moved but it was temporary while having foundation work done on her home. Lie #2. When confronted at a commission meeting workshop about her move, Ms. Hurley stated that the county attorney told het not to talk to the commission about the move. Lie #3.

At the August 2019 commission meeting, commissioners voted to send the matter of 2nd district commissioner Julia Hurley's residency issue to district attorney Russell Johnson. Commissioners voted 9-0 to ask Johnson to investigate and take action if necessary if he finds that Ms. Hurley has vacated her seat by moving out of her elected district. Johnson did investigate and in fact found that Ms. Hurley had in fact moved out of her elected district. He gave her four months to move back into her district or resign her seat. She did neither.

Back in March, DA Johnson, filed suit against Ms. Hurley. Ms. Hurley then hires attorney T. Scott Jones. Thereafter her story changes again. Ms. Hurley now claims that her move is only temporary because she bought an investment property, her new home, and was simply planning to live there temporarily while she fixes it up to resale it. Lie #4.

All you have to do is go back and read all her Facebook posts to quickly see that everything she has said since then are just not true.

She wants to blame everyone else for a problem she created herself. Neither DA Johnson, Commission Chairman Cullen nor myself have any political reasons to see her lose her commission seat and we certainly didn't make her move nor did we tell her to try to cover it up by lying. She's the one who violated the law by moving out of her elected district.

As we approach the one year anniversary of Ms. Hurley's move out of her district, she continues to this day to draw her commission pay and benefits of more than twenty thousand dollars per year.

Least anyone forget the history of how we got from there to here, below is a link to story of the history of Ms. Hurley's magical move.
