The questions are mounting, the weeks are blowing by and nothing is being answered by this team. When will they step up and is it too late?

We're not big on giving ex-cons an employment chance, unless they're Michael Vick or Martha Stewart. The others get their resumes thrown in the trash if a manager finds out they have a record.
