From: Thomas Smith, commissioner_1b09@yahoo.com:
I would like to apologize for any inconvenience this posting has caused. I attempted to send this email to a few individuals and some how it was sent to everyone in my address book. Again, I offer my apologies. And just for the record, this is not what public service has come to.
