I think I read it here. He is the House Clerk I do believe. It was posted he was open about his being gay. Nothing else said. But I wondered if he hired pages.

Jeff Trandahl

"He is openly gay and has played an evolving role in managing the questionable behavior of (formerly) closeted Representative Mark Foley."

So Congress put an OPEN GAY fellow on the page program...
