“Why Do You Do This Stuff?” - An Interview With Ken Eyring and Tom Murray - Part 1/3

Ken and Tom founded the Government Integrity Project a number of years ago. Their mission, along with their supporters, is to find out where Government is not playing with a straight deck. We've all known about the "Good ole' boys" networks that can run small towns, the larger cities with their Tammany Hall political machines, and individuals (often drawing government-signed paychecks) not always believing that they are merely public servants but become enamored with the Power that Government can wield.

A few weeks ago, I was asked by Tom and Ken if I'd participate in an interview with another person for a documentary on Government Corruption that will be coming out somewhere down the road. Hey, while Ken often sends in submissions as a Grokster, both read GraniteGrok as regular readers so they know about the goings on here in NH. So of COURSE, I said yes and spent a few hours with them and their crew.

And when we had run out of time (the Library wanted their room back but certainly we didn't run out of things to talk about!), I turned the tables on them - I brought my camera out and had them sit together. I've split the 20 minute interview into 3 parts.
