“Plumber” Scandal Widens
Knowing liberal compassion and tolerance as we do, there’s no way the whole Joe The Plumber-privacy-invasion scandal could be an isolated incident. And it isn’t….
Two more senior managers at the Ohio agency where computers were used to dig up information about “Joe the Plumber” have been suspended without pay for their roles in the searches, an official at the agency said Friday.
Fred Williams, the Department of Job and Family Services’ assistant director, will be placed on two weeks unpaid suspension beginning Monday, spokeswoman Scarlett Bouder said in a statement. Doug Thompson, the department’s deputy director of child support, is facing a four-week unpaid suspension, also starting on Monday,
Two other agency employees are facing disciplinary action based on conclusions reached Thursday by Ohio’s government watchdog, she said.
It may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but these partisans now crawling out from under the bus must be asking themselves if it was really worth it?
