Reply #47: He is very, very ill

and would not be able to make a state run, assuming he would be interested. I think his heart has always been in the Congress. Just sort of curious as to why you think the Governor knows this -- I mean, Tammie Raynor gave a letter to Mrs Ryan about the corruption and we have never known positively that it didn't just go in the wastebasket without his seeing it. From what I hear, it is hard to get past the palace guard, so maybe they are the only ones who know. I think the angle of elected representatives getting folks out early is the key to a great expose, but then I don't know the rules -- you mentioned work release, so is it possible that one becomes eligible but must wait for a spot and the representative just boosts someone on the list? That would be very different from getting someone on work release who doesn't qualify. It would be hard for a journalist to investigate this, independently, because s/he couldn't get access to prisoner records -- I believe they are not accessible by FOIA. I am also curious about the Inspector General blow off since I believed the legislative mandate only excluded constitutional officers, but applied to every agency.
