Janet's departure -- a mini-scandal
Greg Patterson (Expresso Pundit) has uncovered a dirty little secret in the Governor's office:

"Then there's the fact that Governor's office didn't cap the vacation hours. Most state employees are limited to 240 hours of accrued vacation, but uncovered employees can save up to 320 hours. Quite a few of the Governor's staff are over this limit, with several of them in the 500 hour range and one staffer has more than 1,000 hours of unused vacation. That one person will get a check for nearly $40,000 upon leaving service."

This looks particularly embarressing in light of the current budget crisis. You'll be seeing a lot about these figures from Republicans in the coming weeks.
