Hypocrisy?

Today Republican House members killed SB 71 after intense lobbying effort by the Governors office. SB 71 simply allowed for the Governor, Lt. Governor and Speaker of the House to appoint individual to serve on his or her behalf on various boards, commissions and committees. The primary purposes of the bill was to help make a quorum at meetings when the office holder had a conflict. All three serve on many different committees and boards by virtue of their office. While I have no idea why the Governor would be opposed to this bill, I do find an amazing level of hypocrisy in his opposition. As you will recall back in December about the same time the Governor was announcing a hiring freeze, he hired Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh, the former Chair of the Alabama Republican party. Now that action was hypocritical enough, but the real hypocrisy had yet to rear its head until today. The job that Twinkle was hired to do? Attend meetings of boards and commissions for the Finance Director Jim Main. Now that may be the pinnacle of hypocrisy.
