You are correct. The mayors nephew was not "hired" yet, as he is scheduled to go to the police academies next class. This is exactly the problem with those in office now. Playing games with words. " We didn't raise your taxes, we imposed a new fee" "we didnt raise your taxes, we doubled your water/sewer bill" . "I'm not dating the police chief, we've only been roommates for the last 20 years" "I haven't been convicted of ethics charges" the hearing was postponed.
