Its not an old saying for no reason "its easier to find a job when you have one". We'll know soon enough.

Who decides what should be excepted, the people or the public servant? “not necessary, nor is it appropriate or dignified, to identify individuals who are losing their jobs.”

What is so bad about the public knowing who has been laid off or fired? Since it is the taxpayers that pay their salaries, wouldn't they have a right to know where there money has been spent and for what ? I believe that is considered a public record to be divulged to those who request it. Is the Governor ashamed of the people he appointed? Does he want to hide the amount of tax dollars he has wasted and for what? It would seem he has something to hide, else he would be open about what is being done. This is just more of the shell game, shifting the shells so no one knows where the pea is. It is a shame that we put people in office that try to circumvent the system, then leaving us to wonder what happened. Why the secrecy?

Bruce Kohl and ... what is her name ... oh yeah ... Rebecca Vigil Giron. One will be missed because of his expertise and experience .. the other ... nah.
