Since they print every stupidness sent out by government, I assume there was no press release. This gives me the impression that they might have said, "Let's just do this and hope no one notices."<BR/><BR/>Dawn has a good reputation. She may well have been the best-qualified person for the job. Just because she has the misfortune to be married to the Deputy Governor shouldn't mean the end of her career, or that she must be a cleaner for the rest of her life. <BR/><BR/>Why this job was never advertised is an issue that I'm not competent to address.<BR/><BR/>If the Governor had stepped in and openly told the people that because of the obvious conflict of interest he had excluded Stanley from this matter and was handling it personally, and if he had openly announced his decision, we would not be discussing this today. But because everything in Anguilla is shrouded in secrecy, everything takes on a dodgy appearance and everyone connected to every decision is a suspect. Stanley has chosen not only to be part of this pernicious system but to defend its walls of secrecy. He knows better.
