From: Jeb Bush To: Horne, Jim (E-mail) Jim Horne (E-mail) CC: Kathleen Shanahan (E-mail 2) Date: 7/27/2002 2:18:09 PM Subject: I met an employee of Infinity Software outside the barbershop today. He politely told me that the company has been told that I have a problem with the FCAT explorer. they are worried about the upcoming contract renewal. Kathleen mentioned to me that the DOE has problems with the product but no details were given regarding why. For the record, I don't have any problems with FCAT explorer since I know very little about it. What I do know is that the business is Tallahassee based and creates high wage jobs in a community that desparately needs to diversify its economy. while that in and of itself is not a reason to do business with the company, it certainly is an incremental benefit. Can you speak to the CEO of the company, Tom Lynch? He should be told what problems, if any, exist. I hope you are doing well.
