Tondee Pick Burns Job Seeker

Timothy Paulding, who interviewed for the job former Kootenai County Commissioner Todd Tondee landed at the county, said he was passed over despite being “extremely qualified” for the county gig. “I have two master’s degrees in the disability-related field, worked four years as a database manager for an agency that received state and federal funding, and I’m a person with a disability who relies on public transit,” Paulding, of Coeur d’Alene, told The Press. “I feel burned and that my time was wasted.” The county hired Tondee for a newly created job in the Grants Management Office as a “transit program specialist,” earning $21.74 per hour/ David Cole , Coeur d’Alene Press.

Question: What’s that old saying? “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” Thoughts?
