Who would believe that a Governor appoints someone who actually works for him, the duly elected Governor of a state?
Here is a further clarification to that point as quoted from the story:
Enright said Lane also described to him Steffen as "a mole for the Ehrlich administration."
So let me see if I get this straight:
NCPAC has an office relationship with Michelle Lane, which goes bad. Ms. Lane then tells Mayor O'Malley's people that NCPAC is a "mole" in the Ehrlich administration - presumably that he's *GASP* working for the governor to determine which *GASP* at will employees to replace with people who will be *GASP* faithful to the Ehrlich administration. She gets fired from her state job and meets with a Democrat operative close to Mayor O'Malley looking for a new job. She also tells the operative that NCPAC is a "mole". Lane then hires the biggest Democrat lawyer in the state, Douglas Clement, to represent her in a wrongful termination action.
Sounds like this Ms. Lane may have been acting as a mole in the first place.
