As a state employee, let's just say that his sick time is generous. Probably more generous than mine, as I only have 20 months in with the Commonwealth. Terry has something like 17 years in. And my sick leave is far from stingy.
I have a pretty good idea how this whole thing came about. It's really pathetic. To let petty jealousies put a man's livelihood, home and family in jeopardy....
I can assure you that the person who sent that anonymous letter isn't doing it as an outraged taxpayer.
The irony is, if Terry worked a midnight to 7 shift, took a paid detail the next day, and banged in sick the following night, no one would care.
