Bringin' up that old shit again

I can't help myself. I have a taste for the classics, here's one where a council aid is caught on camera, bringing beer into a council persons house, during the workday, while she is being paid to be working, ($100,00 per year no less), and her response is pure gold. She shows up at a legislative hearing, and holds up handmade signs accusing people of racism. She is still on the payroll. Why wouldn't she be!

DROP: Council Overrides Mayor Veto

The program doesn't function as intended (supposed to retain highly valued employees), cost more than it was expected to (zero) according to the Mayors study, and Councils study of the study, and is being used by elected officials as a windfall (city council). Oh yeah, and the citizens of the city are overwhelmingly against having their money used this way, but none of this matters to the WLBITFW.

Council is Pro Backroom Deal

Unsurprisingly city council does not have a problem with elected politicians exerting clandestine pressure to swing public money toward longtime friends and political donors. At this point its not so much news, just more of the same. Unfortunately the only people surprised to see this in this paper are council members themselves, who thought that was their job, "What's wrong with that?" says Marian B. Tasco., "having this out in the public ...is a tremendous disservice" says James Kenney.

I'm sure it is, Councilman.

Don't confuse City Council with the current Mayor, who actually gives a shit about ethics.

But what to expect from a group who continuously shows disregard for their employers? According to the wicked witch of the west, "I'm for not having a (public) hearing before we know what we're doing...you could get people angry". As the saying goes, treat the electorate like mushrooms, keep them in the dark and feed them shit.
