What's good for the goose at the GOP is just as good for the gander on the Dem side of the aisle.<BR/><BR/>When the story first broke, we asked ourselves, "What was Kathleen Rice thinking?" Patronage appointments -- or worse yet, blatant nepotism -- have no place in good government.<BR/><BR/>We would like to chalk up this apparent lapse of judgment on the part of the new DA to political Naiveté, the likes of which will not be repeated (as it is at Hempstead Town Hall -- over and over and over). <BR/><BR/>We hope that Ms. Rice will recant her sister-in-law's less than propitious appointment, offer a public mea culpa, and that future nods will be made with both full disclosure and a desire to avoid even the mere appearance of impropriety.<BR/><BR/>For this first offense, The Community Alliance determines that a slap on the wrist for Kathleen Rice, rather than the wrath of a full-blown blogspot, shall suffice as just and adequate. <BR/><BR/>Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us again, and we'll have to call you "Kate!" :-)The Community Alliancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874256614338547604noreply@blogger.com
