more owens deals

Cash bonuses to top bureaucrats weren't the only perk bestowed by former Gov. Bill Owens' administration: Some top officials got job protection too.

In their final annual employment contracts, at least 23 appointed senior managers in the Owens administration got a promise that they could return to other state management positions at the highest-possible salaries for those jobs.

The manager-protection program appears to violate state personnel rules by guaranteeing jobs to senior political appointees.

1. If it violates state personnel rules, can't it be challenged?

And if it can be, I'm wondering who is responsible for the challenge......maybe the Attorney General?

2. that would be my guess

let's just hope it's not Ritter. One visit and a half hour of whining from Owens and Ritter would cave.
