Ms. Cobbe:  Dr.  James Hamilton retired last year.  At the time of his retirement, Ms. Elia  created a transition job for him with a fancy title and a $140,000 pay rate.  A  clerk told me his name was on the job before it even went on the  books.
 I would like this  public information about this job:
 1, the job  description;
 2. its  salary;
 3. the ads placed  and in what venues for this job and how long they ran; if there were no ads,  please say "none."  If they were, cite those and give me the applications of the  people who applied for the job in competition with Dr.  Hamilton;
 4.  the length of  time Dr. Hamilton held this ad hoc bridge job and what total salary the state  paid him for his incumbency in the job;
 5.  whether Ms. Elia  did away with this job when Dr. Hamilton quit to retire and any reasons she  cited for abolishing the position;
 6.  the date that  Ms. Elia via the board created the current lobbyist job that she awarded to Dr.  Hamilton.  The job description of this job;
 7. the ads and their  venues for this lobbyist job that Dr. Hamilton now holds if any and how long the  ads ran if  the job were advertised; if there was no advertising for the job, say  "none";
 8, a copy of any  applicants' applications for the lobbying job if it were  advertised;
 9.  the salary for  the lobbying job when it was awarded to Dr. Hamilton;
 10.  whether the rumor is true that Dr. Hamilton has received a boost in  the salary for this job to $96,000.
 11.  notes of  discussion that the board held off the board podium in conference with the  administration about the creation of both the Hamilton bridge job and also his  current lobbying job and the salaries each job  garnered initially for Dr.  Hamilton;
 12. whether the  board attorney reviewed these hires of Dr. Hamilton and approved of them; any  notes the board attorney made on his decisions relating to these  hires;
 13. the  attorney general cites 48 hours for a citizen to receive requested public  information. Since you are on summer schedule, let the information requested  have twice that amount of hours on working days for you to send me these  data.
 Thank  you.

As I was watching the news it occurred to me that the Iranian government reminds me of the school board in Hillsborough. No matter how the masses of people protest, the government stays its course on being unethical and circumventing democracy.
This is how the school board is. No matter how much criticism it gets, it continues to stay the course and keep doing things behind the scenes. I wouldn't be surprised if the school board members hold secret meetings where they all talk about issues totally ignoring the Government in the Sunshine laws. No one would put it past them, since they seem to all be so unethical.
