You schmooze, you lose
(The Record) – Wednesday, February.03, 2010
While there are several groups that are proactive when it comes to helping people find jobs, elected officials are not among them.
We seem to have some local politicians who think that as long as they get their picture in the local newspapers three times a week they're doing their job. How pathetic and how egotistic can they be.
Grinning at a camera doesn't justify drawing a salary paid for with taxpayers dollars while many of those same taxpayers can't find work for themselves to support their families.
This November, voters are going to send a clear message to the long-term incumbents playing the "shmooze" game. Goodbye and good luck.
