Search this site for stories published about that little Queen Jean committee. Being politicians, the chief justice has the option of doing to them what she did to Attorney General McMaster on finding his office was "incompetent." Bring them into her office privately and tell them, "now children, don't do that any more." The CJ will then own them. I dealt with Hazelwood a couple of years ago. Nice enough. Means well. Got a good state retirement plan going on. However, she's just a puppet. See Toal on McMaster, wwwfitnews.com. January 12, 2009.

Governor Bauer's continuing excellent fiscal stewardship, the Lt. Governor's Office ended FY 2007-08 on June 30th with a carry forward balance of $404,000 -- which, together with all state agencies, was ordered lapsed into the General Fund. This is factual and is entirely at odds with the earlier assertion that the agency had "spent a deep hole." For the record, James M. Miles is not the director of the Office on Aging. Rather, he is the chief of staff to Lt. Governor Andre Bauer. For the record, Tony Kester is the interim director of the Office on Aging within the Lt. Governor's Office. Using facts, rather than hyperbole and wild accusations, makes for duller blog reports and comments. Using facts is much more reflective of reality -- albeit admittedly much more boring and thus far less entertaining. For the record, due to Lt.

Some insiders think they will have to have special relief from the General Assembly to get out of it. The question is, will the General Assembly finance Bauer's campaign or hang him out to dry. It appears Ethics is already helping the bauer campaign... Jim Miles/ Andre Bauer spent their agency into a deep hole running a campaign for governor using government money.
