I would like to know the policy 16 years ago when Zita Wilensky was hired. I believe the article states that the government gave her 60 days to learn Spanish. I don't say it is impossible to learn a foreign language in 60 days but that seems to be a very short time to me.

Or is only OK for governments to have the deep pockets, but corporations (or individual citizens)are off-limits?

Government has already proven that it has deep pockets. $450.00 toilet seats. $187.00 screwdrivers. I am sure you can relate to that with your vast experience as a government supervisor!!

Good point. Orlando (El Duque) Hernandez has been with the New York Yankees for four years now, and supposedly still can't speak any English. The idea that somebody who already has a full-time job could learn a foreign language in their spare time in 60 days is preposterous.
