I have to agree with this. No one cares about you unless the seat is dirty. I went back
and looked at Blake's website. It would be easy for ALDOT to fire him for other reasons.
A consultant came in after he was fired and found problems in setups of software.
Also, we have to keep in mind. GA is a right to hire state. I don't know about AL. But
here you can be asked to leave at anytime.
