If you're Purcell, you have to feel good about this improving your chances of landing the job. Again, I have no issue with that, but I want the vetting process to be as transparent, fair, widespread and rigorous as possible.

The News & Observer piece above built on that release left that factoid out. It's not an insignificant point, either.
