Conklin: Governor’s note prompts replies

f your boss sent you an e- mail thanking you for your “hard work and dedicated service” in the past year, would you type “What a joke!” and hit reply? Or accuse the boss of being “less than sincere?”
Call it a sign of bravery, the protections of civil service or an indication of plummeting morale among state employees, but those are among the responses sent to Gov. Jim Doyle after he sent out “an open letter to state employees” last month.
