What? Say it ain't so!

Oh wait...I heard those same things at the same meetings!

Bottom line is that the supervisors can hire whomever they wish. If they are promoting people based on things other than their officiating ability, they probably will not be the supervisor for very long (as happened to the person icallfouls referenced).
