      <![CDATA[I hope this gets blasted from the rooftops.<br>
<br>
It speaks volumes that in Nashville someone who points out massive government corruption is a "gadfly." That isn't a knock on the writer, either.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Mr. Jakes.

      <![CDATA[I'd like to know what the hell a gadfly is. If it's someone that will hold politicians or high ranking officials feet to the fire and hold them accountable with our money, we need a lot more gadflys flying around (Metro Government better get out the Raid). GO KENNY GO!!!!

      <![CDATA[I work in a large corporation and if me or anyone there committed any of this sort of unethical behavior, we would be fired, and escorted from the building within hours of discovery. It is appalling that this sort of behavior does not provoke shock to the moral sensibility of the board.

      <![CDATA[We need 50,000 Ken Jakes to help snuff out the corruption not only in entities like NES but in our own local, state, and federal government. What ever happened to the journalists of the past who were suppose to be watch dogs for the community--and to expose these things?

      <![CDATA[Ken Jakes has spent a great deal of time and money on this issue. He deserves considerable credit for digging up the initial information that started this whole process.<br>
<br>
Also the blog belongs to Rod Williams, not Ken Jakes.
