If Albany holds true to record, Mr. Hamilton Won't be hired. The job will be given to the outsider, which is so unfair....oops, what was I thinking Albany doesn't know the word fair, either.

MR. HAMILTON APPEARS TO BE QUALIFIED FOR THIS POSITION AND IS LOCAL TALENT. LET'S GIVE THIS MAN A SHOT AND NOT TREAT HIM AS A PLACEHOLDER.
