RALEIGH At least four hometown friends of state Elections Director Gary Bartlett have been hired at the agency he runs.
Collectively, they are known in the office as the "Goldsboro Mafia," a reference to their cozy relationship with the boss and to the car pool three of them and Bartlett shared between Goldsboro and state election headquarters in Raleigh. (Source: Charlotte Observer)
Note: And some folks want to talk about Affirmative Action and other when black folks get a job but it is situations like this that I feel happens more. I love this: "There’s no favoritism," Bartlett said. "If they are qualified, why focus on the fact they are from Goldsboro?" Now this is too funny. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher
