    Kevin Smathers doesn’t know how to properly investigate jack sheet - he’s about as useless as his dopey, arse-kissin, chubby little sidekick. Take a good look at the Whitley Fuel Depot fire investigation. Smothers picks out a suspect then forms the evidence to fit HIS suspect, disregarding other pertinent evidence if it points to anyone else!!! In a tightening budget it would be better for the taxpaying citizens to eliminate his position, because we are DEFINITELY not getting our money’s worth out of Kevin Smathers!!!!!
