Said letter stated that "politicking has paid off for your Mr. R. Simpson, who, as a member of
the Commission, secretly harbored intentions of becoming the "consultant" to the Commissi
but waiting only long enough to abscond with the figures I supplied for the fees and expenses to
be charged before he weaseled his way into the hearts of the County Commissioners. His
actions are totally prejudicial, unethical and immoral. Furthermore, Mr. Simpson is not
a marine consultant and has very obvious conflicts of interests. "
