"we ought to be more transparent than we have to be"

How dumb.  Just disclose what you have now and move along.  L. Brooks Patterson doesn't hesitate to name those he shakes down and those buying influence in Oakland County, however, Rick Snyder is above that as if his donors are like Barry's college transcripts.

"I think if you don't release it, it looks like there's something suspicious," Patterson told The News. "We all talk about transparency and we either live it or not."
....

"It's easier to hit your supporters for a donation sometimes, than getting them to donate from their personal account," Patterson said of getting corporate donations made to the fund.

Snyder testified last week in a deposition in Detroit's bankruptcy case that he doesn't know who donates to the fund - an admission that's raised some eyebrows. "It's almost dereliction of duty if he didn't know who the donors were," Robinson said.

Rich Baird testified he didn't know either.  What a pack of lies.  So, what's a Nerd to do?  Naturally, Rick Snyder put's his crony on the public dole with a $40,000 pay raise.  Frilliant!

Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the appointment of Ron Boji, of Orchard Lake, to the state Transportation Commission.

The six-member commission is the policy-making body for all state transportation programs.

"Ron has enjoyed a distinguished career and I look forward to his contributions to this important commission," Snyder said.

Hey, it's a Nerdy job but, somebody's got to do it...

Spoken like a CPA with a law degree.

At the time, this didn't really make a whole lot of sense.

Sure people make donations to charity all of the time.

They usually do this for altruistic reasons.

Sometimes they simply do it for good PR.

But in Detroit this didn't make any sense whatsoever.

There really wasn't anything to be gained from this action (especially doing it secretly)

"...so people should feel comfortable with that."

AYFKM?  No, you slippery crony capitalist big government Progressive.  You work for me Nerd-boy, and I trust your smarmy, perpetual stealth-mode Ann Arborness as far as I can throw my house over your boondoggle DRIC bridge.

And, dig the chops on the retained mouthpiece.

"I pay my travel out of pocket every week, I pay my parking, I don't expense mileage. It's cost me tens of thousands of dollars, personally," said Kevyn Orr.

Hey, stupid, for starters Kevyn, you already got caught in a lie.  Not a smart Bankruptcy shyster.  Kevyn accepted the job (with extravagant perks), and please do tell us what other forms of employment covers the tab for any out of state residency?  It didn't fly at Ford Motor when Channel 7's Steve Wilson exposed Mark Fields weekly trips home to Florida, to avoid Michigan's Income Tax.  The Governerd likes to play government is a business, well, the Public Sector don't dig that sh!t - bad business image.  Alan Mulally ate crow ...and, the li'l "Rock and Roll" Executive's corporate Gulfstream went buh-bye.  Tho, Fields did keep the Mullet.
