It does appear that the County Board has so narrowed the requirements some like me, with a Master’s Degree in Public Administration, need not apply. I wonder why? No one without a job, say an educated stay-at-home Mom, would be welcomed either.
I’m a little bit suspicious of any organization whose boards are so strictly contrived.
What is the “mission” of this block grant agency?
Will taxpayer monies be steered to connected people, or their associates, relatives??
“No one without a job, say an educated stay-at-home Mom, wouldn’t be welcomed either.”
Cal, why not read this one aloud? You may look in the mirror and move your lips if you must.
Do you detect – with that Master’s in PA – a double negative in this sentence?
Thank you, grammar watchers.
