‘Sponsor lists’
The
governor’s office also lobbied for Probation jobs. But how does that absolve John J. O’Brien of charges that he ran a thoroughly corrupt agency, as his lawyers seem to be arguing? How? … Public outrage should be centered on the following: 1.) Taxpayers weren’t getting the best possible personnel and services at Probation. 2.) Lawmakers didn’t give a shit if taxpayers weren’t getting the best possible personnel and services at Probation. 3.) The ‘sponsor list’ system was and is blatantly unconstitutional.
