To the party chairs clamoring for Baer's removal and
demanding an end to autocratic, secret back-room deals, I
have to ask: You're angry...NOW?
For years you have supported the very policies and behavior
that you are demanding to have end, but NOW you're angry.
Forgive me for pointing this out, but the absurd irony of this
statement is surpassed only by the logic of giving tax breaks
to the wealthy--increasing the national debt to unprecedented
levels--in exchange for extending benefits for the long-term
unemployed.
So now, after years of not only failing to protect the citizens
from this destructive, self-interested behavior, we have a
declaration from some of Baer's former cheerleaders that it
must come to an end.
Makes me wonder if one of the writers found themselves on
the receiving end of Baer's "autocratic and secretive"
managerial style and were otherwise "alienated, threatened
or dismissed".
You might be reminded that all of this occurred on your
watch, and was made possible by your active support, or at
the very least, tacit approval.
Just so that we all understand: The same individuals who
have a record of steadfast support for all of these misguided,
self-interested and financially devastating acts are now
leading the charge for open and transparent government.
And you expect us to take you seriously.
