[candidate-development] Clarification Re: Tassinari letter - 2nd attempt

[Gracegrnrnbw at aol.com]

Nat - as you know I am aware of any number of issues with the Secretary of 
the Comonwealth's office, but had assumed, since the letter under discussion is 
to Tassinari (in fact the thread is under her name, not Galvin's) - that John 
and everyone else was referring to Michelle.

And if anyone in her office scans our lists occassionally, I suspect they 
would have too...

I still don't know of any of us having had any problems with the quality of 
her work...

Thanks, Grace
