“Bill Barrett said after the meeting that he had already made up his mind, and He was unmoved by the verbal attacks, he said, and cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of Jensen”

• When did the truth become a verbal attack?

"I didn't take any of that into consideration," Barrett said after the meeting. "I know Ms. Jensen. I know her background, I know her qualifications."

• So did the councilman already know of her unethical activity?
• Is that why he was unmoved?

“Barrett said after the meeting he was able to overlook any alleged ethical lapses because he knew Jensen so well.”

• Based on the filthy looks Butch was passing, I’m wondering if Bill knows her as well as Butch does?

FACTS:

• In a letter from the Pennsylvania State Ethics Commission dated February 1, 2012 “It was determined that all intern hiring for the City of Wilkes-Barre were conducted the City’s Director of Human Resources without input of direction from the Mayor”

"The fix is in," Kadluboski told council before the vote. "Right, Bill?"

• Bob got it RIGHT!
