Heck, Rat Governor Richardson here in NM does that all the time. He's taken it to such an art and is so blatant about it a local TV station has had no trouble producing a expose on the issue. But it will be ignored because 1) its business as usual for Dims, and 2) he's a Dim and they get special treatment and privileges.

Larry Barker Report: Gov creates over 60 new jobs for friends, allies (NM Richardson, must see!!) ^

Well, it appears that the link doesn't work today though it was fine earlier this week. The crux of the story was that being a FOB guaranteed a well paying state job, even when a need didn't exist, and there was no position available. His rewarding of 60* friends into high-paying (for NM) jobs that didn't exist or were filled by a FOB at a salary two to three times authorized you think would logically be big news. But not here where the MSM reporters are chummy with bill and some actually went campaigning for him first time around. Anyway, check back later and the link may be working. (*BTW, that's in addition to the 450+ jobs he's authorized to fill with FOBs)
