Appointed State Administrators do NOT have ANY union representation and serve at the convenience of the Governor. This is a POLITICAL appointment and a blatant payback to a campaign donor. An independent State Attorney General might consider this to be responding to a bribe and investigate as appropriate.
Why are you complaining? He did exactly what Obama said to do... "We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends" - Barack Obama, October 2010
Do you all not like Obama anymore?
Other than the whole taking-a-quote-out-of-context-to-feed-my-own-personal-narrative-and-talking-points - you totally nailed it.
Using "the internets," one can easily discover that quote as part of a (2010) campaign speech Obama gave about immigration reform and latino voting participation rates... which is totally the same as cronyism... except for the part where it isn't.
As not to violate the tos and label any post as extremely stupid, i'll simply ask a question.
This Governor tells the conservative hoards that public sector workers are lazy, corrupt, bankrupting the country, and don't deserve their salaries and benefits.
The only sensible answer to this problem is to elect people like him. These folk were going to make government accountable and fiscally responsible, now this man has been caught stealing from the public{this salary} in an act so egregious that it can't be rationally explained away.
The most intelligent response from some is look what Obama {said}.
Is anyone surprised at this person's actions, they are the folk that believe the wealthy should only look out for one another.
Oooh - nice job of taking a quote out of context to refute my point about how you take things out of context. Well done Sir... well done indeed.
Out of context? Hardly. The point is preciselyrewarding those who support you with a job. Is it not?
