The budget ALWAYS increases. Do you not think it ever increased during Carmody's tenure? What you inferred is that it increased exponentially for Phillips. There is no evidence of that.
I did not infer that it increased exponentially. I repeated what the article said. You are too quick to attack people without really thinking about what they said.
Besides that, if these increases were not notable, why were they mentioned specifically in the article? If the increases were not important, then why did Phillips approach major donors?
Why does it bother you that Phillips went really to bat for Collins and increased these budgets? It does not bother me. It suggests that he didn't do this for Carmody, but you know what? Chris is Jim's guy and I understand that and I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just factual information. It's no reason to fly off the handle and act so strangely.
