And my sense is that you're acting as an apologist for your boss. (Didn't you say you work in her office now?)  Her employment with PAN certainly was not known to either the Kauai County Council or the Kauai community (where she claimed to reside in her letter to the editor). It was consistently presented that the anti-GMO movement was a grassroots, volunteer effort, when in fact it employed many paid operatives, including Jen. I don't think it's unfair or overly critical to disclose the deceptive practices of a person who has been elected to serve the public and is being paid with taxpayer monies. It speaks to her moral/ethical code, and voters have a right to know.  As the activists love to say, it's all about transparency. Right?
