"I find it ironic that on the one hand you basically admit everything I stated is true,"
You must not have read my post very carefully then. The only thing you said that was truthful was the part about the sportsmen complaining finally resulted in a change. That finally forced the governor's office to turn loose the money to hire people. However, the rest of your post was in no way true and was permeated with falsehoods and outright untruths.. That's about as clear as I can make it.
"The political hacks that infest the upper management of the ISP did indeed know by your own admission what eliminating the clerical workers would do, and went along with it because they are hacks."
What you don't understand, or refuse to understand, is there was no choice in the matter to eliminate the temp position. The money was pulled. No money, no employees. It wasn't the ISP who pulled the money. The money was pulled from the ISP. There was no money in the ISP budget, nor did the ISP have the authority, to hire any more temp workers.
"The weak claims that they informed the governor about this are laughable since they not only went along with it "
Your knowledge of business practices is what's laughable. If there's no money to hire people, and the boss says no workers, then there's no way to hire. The ISP was able to get a 1 yr extension on the no-temp order hoping the order would be changed and temps would be allowed to stay. Even after a year the governor's office stuck by its order and the temps had to be let go. No money.
"The whole reason the thing is a problem in the first place is that the ISP refuses (and I use that word deliberately) to follow the law that says they have to issue in 30 days. My feeling is if they can't do the background checks in 30 days, than they should just issue anyway on the 30th day."
Quite honestly your "feeling" doesn't really mean a hill of beans since you have no knowledge of the process and which you have clearly shown in your posts you have no knowledge of any of it. It's all your speculation which is only pased on a fiction and wild imagination.
It sure would be nice to get them out in a week. I'm sure you have the extensive managerial experience to figure out how to process about 1000 renewal applications a day when there was no one left in an office.
Life is simple when you don't have a clue about the situation.
For further info the ISP was not the only agency which had to terminate all temp employees. Every state agency in the executive branch had the same order. But you probably didn't see that, or care. The result caused massive delays in service in the other agencies. There were other parts of the ISP which was saw a negative impact by loss of temp employees which had nothing at all to do with FOID. But you didn't see that. You only focus your small world and believe since FOID was delayed it was a massive conspiracy just aimed at FOID. It was a massive hit in all state agencies. Again, just another example of how little you know about the issue, which you've proven is exactly nothing.
The rest of your post has nothing at all to do with the topic but is nothing but rantings.
If you expect to discuss something intelligently and be taken seriously then at least get your facts straight. So far you haven't gotten one fact right and you haven't written anything which can be taken seriously. Your tin foil getting a bit tight.
