Ok, so everybody will lay off cordasco, this is how this all started:

I don't blame you one bit, I would be going coo-coo if that happened to me... I never even made it past signing the lists. I've also been hearing rumors that certain political figures are pushing to still put the class through, just so their nieces/nephews can get on BPD.

I have no idea? Ask Whsfbl. He's the one who brought up the MSP exam.

Now, WHO brought up the MSP exam????

Looks like Tiger Woody did:

My response about the "Staties and new cars" was in response to him.

Anyone else catching the math error?
Wouldn't it be $50.00 x 16000 = $800,000.00?

eh, minor technicalities!

No; the MSP Exam in June was only $35.00, that's where he got the 16,000 people number. Not that it really matters, nobody is getting hired no matter what they paid or what they scored!

I have a question:

What recourse does a person have who's offered a conditional offer of employment and accepts it only to have the offer recinded?

Especially if the person gave their notice at their current employment. It's a disgrace that the recruit class was cancelled at the last minute. I think everyone involved would have rather gone through and get layed off in the end. Rather not going through at all.

37-99,
Unfortunately there is no recourse. Everybody who was slated to go into that class is screwed! there is no legal protection for someone who was offered a conditional offer but no final offer. Disgrace is putting it nicely. If they wanted to do right by us, they should have given us the final offer and then cancled it. This way we could have been grandfathered into the class regardless of the next test.

Well if Menino didn't spend like a drunken sailor these past 5 or 6 years, Boston would be better off financially.
He's padded the payroll with every bum-kisser from Readville and Hyde Park. About 500 of them at last count. Used to be Southie got the best snow plowing when a winter storm arrived. Now you can hardly move there. You can eat off the streets in Hyde Park they are so clean.
He should have saved and spent responsibly. Now he goes crying to Beacon Hill looking for a hand-out. It's a damn shame those 2 classes weren't hired.
