Did Meg Whitman have OTHER illegal employees in 2003? Maybe 10 of them?

The letter at issue -- dated April 22, 2003, according to Allred -- noted a discrepancy between the Social Security number provided by the housekeeper and the name on file with the agency.

Agency spokesman Mark Lassiter said that from 2003-2006 an employer had to have more than 10 employees whose Social Security numbers and names did not match to receive a warning letter. It was not immediately clear how many domestic employees Whitman had during that time.

"An employer with one or two employees in 2003 to 2006 would not have gotten an employer ... letter," Lassiter said.

1. The plot DEFINITELY thickens
Methinks Whitman will leave politics after this year...

4. Let's see. She would need another housekeeper, since Nicky
was only 15 hours. Then she'd need a butler. A chauffeur.

What else? A valet for Dr. Harsh? A scullery maid?

5. Secretary for both her and him

To keep their off work appointments straight.

Oh and a tutor or two for the kids and hiring the college graduate student is more expensive than the PhD that moved illegally from Mexico.

8. Good point, one or two cooks
and the cleaning staff... I don't think she had just one member of the cleaning staff.

12. Here's an overhead view of her house. How many people would you
need to clean it.

The grounds look like a lot of work, too. And there's a pool. Maybe they have a cabana boy.

18. She also owned at least one ski lodge in Telluride. Must have needed some staff there.
http://www.notablebiographies.com/news/Sh-Z/Whitman-Meg.html

"Whitman instituted a policy at eBay that required its top executives to post items for auction regularly, so they would know firsthand what worked and what did not.

She even sold the contents of her family's Telluride, Colorado, ski lodge."

I was right the first time. She does have a pool. Just not sure about the cabana boy.

28. Leave politics? She's never been IN politics except for all the commercials she's bought
She's never voted, I've heard she never registered to vote which is a good way to avoid jury duty.

She's the rich kid trying to crash the (repub) party is all she is.

22. One housekeeper part time for Megabucks Meg?
Fat chance of that. Try rotating staff. The house was huge, just huge it would take a couple full time to keep it, then the kitchen and the grounds, the kids. Staff.

23. And then there's the $20 mil dude ranch she owns in Telluride.
That must require some sort of staff.
