Gena Abraham Evans was and is the Purr-(meow)-fect person for the position of Ga. Dept. of Transportation chief. Why? Because this woman has a lot of mileage on her……….

With the follow-ups this week by Fox 5 News, it’s much more now than just lewd emails. This is beginning to smell like huge conflict-of-interest and cover-up by Gena Evans. It’s time for her to go!

Thank goodness someone else thinks this story is worthless. Paul Raymond wouldn’t run it.

Oh boy, where do we start.
This is getting silly and a true misstep on your part.
Your analysis of Belcher having some reluctance to do this story is very close…thats bc WSB originally passed on the story

From what I am told, another station did NOT pass on it and from what I understand, had been working on it for months, perhaps set to air in a little thing called the November book

Can you guess the station???? That’s right WAGA.
and just maybe, just maybe the reason they aired a bizarre pitbull story to lead their book was bc of Belcher’s trump.

Which leads us to the competitive nature of todays local television stations…
It gets a little ridiculous when one station catches wind of what another station is working on and to bust their chops will put it on the air first.

So, I hope that you will pick apart their version IF it ever airs now

I read through the e-mails and actually thought it was worth a story. I’m not critical of her personal life or even attitude toward men. The language is somewhat crude, but who among us hasn’t said or thought those things from time to time. That said, I believe it highlights a pattern of behaviour of a powerful woman with her co-workers and/or people who deal with the DOT on a routine basis. I know the e-mails are a few years old, but they appear to show what is truly on the minds of our high-ranking officials while more important issues like unfathomable multi-million dollar budget overruns are left unaccounted for.

All of the stations in the market got the emails. The attorney passed them along. Many of us looked at them and said what’s the story? Is it really a story, especially so many years after it happened.

These are in public documents at the courts.

snooooorrrrreeeee
