Steffen's testimony raises perjury issue
Former Ehrlich aide tells committee that politics played role in firings

Democratic General Assembly leaders formed a select committee to investigate the personnel practices of Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. in June 2005 - several months after Steffen's activities in state government came to light - and have since awaited his testimony.

Some Democrats contend Steffen was one of several state workers assigned to various agencies to purge them of Democratic loyalists and make room for the governor's supporters. The lawmakers allege that the administration reached deeper than necessary into state agencies to put its own stamp on state operations and disposed of untold decades of employee experience by forcing out workers solely because they were Democrats.

Joseph F. Steffen Jr. - known in political circles as the "Prince of Darkness" - shed light yesterday on his role in the firing of state employees, asserting that he teamed with the governor's appointments office in targeting workers to be terminated and that their political affiliations informed his recommendations.

Perhaps since he rolled for Fitzgerald's investigation he's been stripped of his title by Dear Leader.

apparently the "Prince of Darkness" is from his sci-fi career, but he is one of Rove's proteges
that I do know. He also would not reveal where he is working now, a fact that I find
very intriguing.

Thanks for the OP!

see if you see him in the background of Lieberman, I am not saying that he is, but in the
GOP, cream always rises to the top.

there's lots of POD's in the GOP.

also I think Mr. Stefan had a thing about always working with the blinds drawn if I remember
correctly.

Just like the Sunni excising the Shia and vice versa.

Disgusting. And this same thing happened on a Federal level. You can find story after story about career civil service being forced out or demoted or undermined by political hack appointees with little or no experience.

is the total melt down in the White House over Lamont, they want toadies and fawning courtiers,
it's like the court of Louis xiv
