The extremely short turn-around (three days total) on the exempt "nominations" tell us two things:
- People in the know already got tipped off to have their packages ready to go;
- City Hall and 35th Street already know exactly who they're going to pick - everything else is a sham.
And to those few defenders of the exempt member who doesn't meet the current standards that the next set of gold stars have to measure up to, are you even listening to yourselves? "He's a nice guy," or "He's qualified"? The fact remains that he isn't qualified based on the current requirements presented by G-Mac and your excuses continue to undermine the system by creating "exceptions" instead of making everyone play by the rules.
We might as well have a popularity contest for a "People's Choice" exempt.
