So the reality is nothing new. I like Forest as person. But calling him an "Ombudsman" is a stretch. What he is is a flak catcher(that's the nice way of saying it). the answer is the governor doesn't want to hear it and the ESDC wants to hear it even less. As long as Shelly supports this it will go forward.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10690307785844012406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20743459.post-24621928221392757492009-02-12T11:14:00.000-05:002009-02-12T11:14:00.000-05:00Bobbo, NetIncome, Mr. W.: if you're such an expert...Bobbo, NetIncome, Mr. W.: if you're such an expert, why don't you tell everyone who you are?
