What the Paul Patton/Tina Conner Scandal Teaches Us About Affirmative Action     by Theresa Fritz Camoriano     Governor Patton and Tina Conner unintentionally have done us all a wonderful service in exposing the reality of government power.  If we will just take a look at their situation, we can learn about many aspects of government, including affirmative action.  Tina Conner claims that she exchanged sex with the Governor for favors from the government, one of the favors being that her business was put on a list of affirmative action businesses to receive special, favored treatment by the government when awarding contracts.....
