Hi Ken,
I've been quite remiss in nominating Michael Bowers for your weekly reprobetry (for the record, I think scalawag is too tame for most of your recipients, but that's your business). If you've done it on your own initiative and I've missed it, my apologies and kudos.
As I'm sure you know, Michael Bowers was the lawyer behind the group of white library administrators' reverse-discrimination award against the Fulton County system, as well as a large minority vendors suit against Marta's fare collections contract. Ken, I don't think anyone would object to people who've been victimized bringing suit against those invoking unfair practices against them, but both of these suits have been for fairly large sums of money, paid not by the administrators accused, but by the entity charged with employing the violaters. The result - and Mr. Bower is no dummy here; he knows where to get the most butter for his bread - is that it's paid for by the taxpayers.
Now he's at it again. The reverse discrimination suit against the Dekalb CEO will no doubt name the County as a defendant, and any settlement will come against the pockets of the shire's taxpayers. I'm just guessing here, but do you think any of that will wind up at Mr. Bower's firm?
Ken, we miss having you at ultimate on Sundays - if you have some time, we'd love to have you come back for a game or two.
Hope you're well,
J.R.
P.S. I think if you investigate, you'll find some other, less-than-endearing positions taken by the former state Attorney General in his past.
