Data : THE EMAIL THAT ESTABLISHES BLUNTS' INTENT ON RETROACTIVE PAY

By:

DB Comment:

The crux of one of the felony charges against Sandy Blunt is that he gave "bonuses" to selected employees in a preferential manner. The following email firmly establishes as Blunt has always claimed, that after performance appraisals that people would be paid retroactively to December 2004.

Here is the text of that email (omitted is the WSI address, phone numbers and email address that seemingly was automatically appended to the end of the document by the WSI computer system):

Subject: Performance Appraisals

Hi,

All of you have been patiently awaiting an overdue performance appraisal(s) that were last postponed to December 2004. Sandy is in the process of completing them and will have them completed by the end of January 2005 with merit pay retroactive to December 2004.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thank You,

Amy
