Guest Response To Mead Mileage Scandal

Following the posting of my story on MileageGate/Mead/Moore/Bettencourt/Jasper/O'Brien, I received this response. 

The Concord Monitor deserves great credit for breaking this story. 

The Attorney General needs to be called in to investigate this, espcecially in lieu of Majority Leader Bettencourt's comments in today's paper that rumors are rife but he will refuse to answer any.  Such obfuscation seems to bolster the need for the A.G. to be brought in.  As I understand the law, the
A.G. can get answers under penalty of perjury.  To have confidence in our government and the budget, we need answers on this scandal.

Salt, and more salt

To all,

    Wow...  I feel cheated.  To think we gave up our mileage last summer in the name of fiscal austerity.  And now this...

    I work three jobs to be able to come here and do what we do.  Last summer really hurt me.  Every lost day at my jobs last summer cost the same as my yearly legislator's stipend.  Each day!  And to this we stopped our mileage, hurting those from the far corners of the state than those living near Concord. The lost mileage, small compared to lost wages, hurt still.  Like salt rubbed in a wound.

   And now this news.  More salt.

   Couldn't they use their cell phones and computers for this recruitment?  Or network with local party people over this?  This really burns me.
