"When you ignore a victim, you create a monster. I was terminated after over three years of service as a contractor and no reason was given and Bob Mika did not even have the decency to return my phone calls. Finally Dick Whimmer called me and we had a great conversation in which he nicely explained how disposable I was. No one told me the REAL reason I was fired (which I know was political - sourced by Rick Hatch)."
