Whitewashing Rick Hill’s Dirty Laundry
Someone on GOP Gubernatorial candidate Rick Hill’s team seems to think his past needed a little bit of a touch up.
Yesterday, after the GOP leadership’s meeting with the Governor yesterday, (during which GOP leadership admitted that the current work comp system, crafted while Hill was chair of the work comp board, is the most expensive in the nation for businesses and a top problem the GOP hears about from constituents), the helpful internet sprites edited Hill’s page to limit his involvement in the matter. Here’s a screenshot of a list of the edits as of Thursday evening.
Rick Hill’s involvement in crafting the current work comp system had been something the campaign was bragging about, as you can see from a screenshot of Hill’s website. Anyhoo, following yesterday’s meeting the wiki friends downplayed that bit. From the list of edits posted above:
Oh, they were also good enough to alter passages dealing with the whole matter of how expensive the current work comp program is, which you can see are not included in today’s version. Good thinking friends, because how would anyone ever find out about what a disaster the expensive work comp is if it’s not on Wikipedia?
Since November of last year, just days after Rick Hill announced he would run for Governor someone named “C. Denowh” among others, made more than 30 favorable changes to Hill’s Wikipedia page.
This is but the latest incident of the brown shirts editing out portions unflattering to Hill, such as a reference to Hill’s infamous assertion that a woman without children is unfit to hold office because she would have no knowledge of family values which you read about here. He’s done this again too. Here are the latest before and after screenshots that show someone continues to try to suppress Rick Hill’s own remarks.
