A Costly Bailout
When a government lawyer told Martin to stop the cover-up, Martin fired him. The lawyer sued for wrongful termination, but why would HackMan care? The settlement and legal fees didn't cost him a dime- he charged that $2.4 million bailout to Missouri taxpayers!
A million here, $2.4 million there...
HackMan? Forced to resign? Never! So said Governor Blunt-even though HackMan's inappropriate conduct cost Missouri taxpayers over $2.4 million, including a settlement paid to the whistle blower that HackMan illegally fired.1
What's next, a lawbreaker's bailout?
Illegally deleting emails illegally is...well, illegal. When a government lawyer pointed that out to the delete-key-happy HackMan, HackMan fired him (which was also illegal). That's a lot of lawbreaking. No wonder legal fees reached $2.4 million. 2
What's yours is HackMan's...to spend!
Everybody likes to save a buck. That's why HackMan passed his personal bailout onto Missouri taxpayers. He was the one who illegally fired a government whistle blower. But we're the ones who paid.3
