Letter to the Governor 12/20/06

It has come to my attention that you have terminated the tenure
of Jodi James from the position of chairman from the ICOIL board. You cited
"disruptive" behavior and accused her of stopping the board from conducting
any business, thereby slowing any forward progress.  Are you aware, Sir,
that the board members who protested Mrs. James's conduct are themselves
involved in illegal conduct as to the misappropriation of funds (that's an
example, you may not have heard of this since you are only listening to
their side of the argument) and are themselves slowing down progress by not
even showing up to the meetings in some immature attempt to voice their
displeasure of the chairman.  You should already know about all of this,
Sir, because Mrs. James herself, along with at least 12 disabled members of
the public who are directly affected by the actions of the ICOIL
board,spoke to members of your staff only 3 weeks ago.  Is it
customary policy to only hear one side of the argument before making up
your mind what to do?  If so, then don't be surprised the next time
someone voices their distrust of the political system, which you have let
down by your careless disregard for anything resembling common sense. Enjoy
your blissful ignorance, Sir.  It comes at a price.
