Glad to see you admit you have no factual basis for the allegation of political influence, especially in light of the statements from members of the board that there was no political influence involved.

>>> Perhaps you have a reading comprehension problem?

>>> I listed several facts. I merely said that a tape recording of the board's deliberations was not among them.

>>> Of course they are going to say "there was no favoritism at play"... what are they going to do? Admit to a felony? Damn Bush, give up any patronage that their favoritism may have gained them... and go to jail?

>>> I doubt it.

>>> But what possible other reason is there to favor a less qualified applicant over hundreds of better qualified ones... who also had been on the lists far longer?

>>> I think you'll note that the board never gave an answer to that one.
