   This is very illuminating. The useful background information contained in posts like this is why policy analysts find it valuable to read this blog (and probably why a few legislators apparently read it).

   Yes.. good analyses and I agree.

   The first two go against the idea of accountability. If there is a problem with retention or staffing – it needs to be handled within the agency and it’s budget.
   these are just slush funds.

   The third worries me a lot. What in the world drives a decision like that?

   Well argued. I find your logic impeccable. As much as I like you contributing to the blog, it’s a shame you retired. The commonwealth desperately needs you!
