No matter how they shake the box, the pieces just won’t fall together. At least not in any way that suggests that Tedjitou Dessalegn, a senior assistant to departed county children’s-services department head Pete Digre, actually colluded with the man who gave her $25,000 to buy a new luxury car, plus another $5,000 on the side. Even if the gentleman in question, one Wond Wossen Mesfin, had just won a $4 million contract with her department.As Mick Jagger used to sing, you just can’t make the connection.This is because there is a hole in county protocols big enough to drive a brand-new Mercedes E320 sedan through. As Ms. Dessalegn just did. Okay, so Mesfin only stood her down payment, but it was, after all, a very large down payment — enough by itself to buy a well-equipped, full-size Buick.
