“Wisdom should be left to the political arena and not to us.”
–State Civil Service Commission member John McClure, during discussion of proposal by the Division of Administration to approve a contract for Blue Cross/Blue Shield to take over functions of the Office of Group Benefits which will result in 121 state employees losing their jobs. (We’re still not entirely sure what he meant, but leaving wisdom “to the political arena” is truly frightening.)



Almost an oxymoron—-political wisdom.
