Emails show the politically-connected chief of staff at a state agency put the "kibosh" on promoting an Environmental Police officer despite his being the top environmental cop's choice for the job, a job that ultimately went to an active donor to state Democratic candidates who is also the brother of a former colleague of hers.
"To see it in black and white that all this transpired, I just can't believe it," said Gary Duncan, the Environmental Police officer who was bypassed for the promotion to be a coastal bureau chief.
