Let’s not forget the coup that was engineered to enable the hacks to be appointed in the first place.

MCC had two parallel searches that each identified two candidates who were qualified for the position. Both searches identified the same two candidates. 2. The politicians on the board inserted two political candidates into consideration. One almost certainly wasn't qualified, the other probably wasn't qualified. 3. One of the two quality candidates threw his hands up in disgust and pulled his name from consideration. 4. The board refused to even consider the other quality candidate. 5. The board now wishes to run a new search. It doesn't take Carson's Carnac the Magnificent to realize that any qualified candidates will avoid that search like the plague, leaving only the political hacks that the board wants to appoint, anyway. Did I miss anything? Let’s recap:

Whats down right rude is the treatment of the one "real" candidate that entered the race. Who from Monroe County will be the first to apologize?

The Republicans were so close to delivering a sweetheart deal of a job to Bill Smith. The vote shouldn't have even been close. This vote is extremely scary to me.
