As of now, Mr. Carville is saying that his job is to protect. That sounds high and mighty, but no one can verify his statement that the Department is protecting the interests of the State by taking this approach, as information is not being published in the public arena. All we have is his uncorroborated word for it. I am not doubting the Department of Finance's word, but we only have its opinion that it is doing its best in its handling of the situation. There is no external verification of that statement.
