‘Stop Putting Things in Writing’The suit paints a grim picture of executive oversight under both Clendenin and Jones.
During that June 2024 meeting, Jones allegedly stood over her desk and warned that “if she kept putting things in writing, it would be to Plaintiff’s detriment.”
Jones allegedly repeated the directive during a subsequent executive leadership meeting, instructing staff to cease creating written records of operational concerns.

The case is assigned to Superior Court Judge Douglas A. Brady on St. Croix.
