The Commissioner can't fudge the data which is all public and all reviewed by outside economists too. Procedures are public documented and calculations are double checked against the original data.

It is a terrible smear on people to claim that just because they were not fired they are now suddenly corrupt.

You keep making the claim with no understanding and no information. Please stop the disinformation.
