        There is a real issue here in the inappropriate relationship with a subordinate, but she seems to be cooperating with that ethics investigation -- nm - TWuG Oct 24, 12:05 4
        
        That allegation sounds to me like a jab from an embittered ex, but who knows. -- nm - Max Oct 24, 12:06 3
