Wrong.

I fully support the leave of abscence, and if he hadn't been fired, this wouldn't be a news story anyway.

What is really interesting is the corruption angle and the man's suit for discrimination.

Save your passion for someone who wants to hear it - you won't get any from me.
Oh yes. Former state representatives are hired as maintenance workers at $15/hr all the time!

I wonder what he was being paid under the table.

So, which side were you on when Romney was running for president? Just want to know where you are...

Again - why are you bringing up things that don't matter? A business decision was made and you're upset because you don't agree with it. The fact that mayor just so happens to be a Democrat is a moot point and doesn't matter in the slightest.

At the end of the day, the business needs to run effectively and the mayor made the decision that best suited the business. You really need to get over your self-obsessive hatred for Democrats and the left.

As I've stated many, many, MANY times before on this site that I am an Independent/Moderate aka Centrist.

What does this have to do with the topic at hand?

I hate no one.

You should try to get over your hatred of people of faith and anyone whom doesn't agree with you.

I see that you are using the aTDT again.

Hmmm, curious that you titled the thread in an inflammatory way if the corruption angle was the most important?

FMLA allows 12 work weeks of unpaid leave. This woman was ill for 19 months, how long do you think people should be able to take time off to care for loved ones?

Except you like to label and slander the Democrats and left whenever you get the chance to do so. If that isn't hatred, then I don't know what is.

The inflection in your posts betray you anyway.

Anyway, what does this have to do with this thread? Nothing, so get back on topic.

A business decision was made and you don't agree with it - that just means you're not cut out for the business world. Considering you're going to be "a future lawyer" you need to get over that. Fast.

Because if you were complaing about Romeny "doing business" by firing people, then you have no business in this thread.
