It just looks bad. A so-called freeze on hiring has not stopped our Governor. There was a lot of slush in the budget for things like hiring old friends. The Governor's budget had some extra it seems and perhaps the Natural Resources budget had some extra.  Nice to go to a part time job and get paid a nice sum plus expenses. He should be taking his own advice and cutting everywhere he can ...but those slush funds are just too tempting. The Governor just can't help himself. HE is addicted to giving money away.
