“This is a shameful thing to have had happen and to read about. It breaks the bonds of trust that exist in this town. This is a political town, so we expect politics, but not in the context of information given us by agencies that are inherently nonpolitical and are supposed to give us good information with which to make public judgments and policy. I agree fully with my colleague. This not only breaks the bonds of trust, but it is a shameful and disgusting thing to read in a paper this morning. My hope is that it is fully investigated.”
