BTW, if more facts come to light, and others start asking questions, it may well turn out that your friend, Mr. Feeney, is breaking the law -- but, since I am not a lawyer or a judge, I really don't know enough to make that accusation or dettermination.

However, based on (1) the actual stated government job duties for her position; (2) her lack of qualifications for said position; (3) Mr. Feeney's "new" description of her duties; and (4) allegations about what else she is doing -- campaign work for him -- I would conclude:

(a) she is a very high-paid receptionist, working for someone who is not authorized to pay $55,000 to a receptionist;

or

(b) a high-paid receptionist/campaign fundraiser, working in the guise as a "Legislative Policy Analyst" -- at taxpayer expense.
