Does Joe Work?

I've had the last couple of days to finally find some quiet from all of those dreadful debates. I wish just one group would organize a true debate with real discourse. I also wish more people would show up, even if it does create fire hazards like it did in that place last week. Whew! Adams could barely wag his finger at us, it was so filled to capacity.

People are talking about how Joe doesn't really do His job. But that's just not true. It's all about perception. Joe is working double time right now (which means about 1.75 hrs a day) to campaign for Himself. This is terribly hard work. If you just ask Him, He'll be glad to tell you how grueling these last two months have been.

He needs to get His pension. It's very simple. During an election year, He has to stop having the real fun and work for a couple of months campaigning. Because IF he wins this year, He gets 20 years and then He gets pension. The rest of the year He has very few city council obligations and doesn't sit on any committees, so He's happy.

I found this article interesting:
"...More important, Beavers will be eligible to collect an aldermanic pension of $78,500 a year. That's 80 percent of the $98,125-a-year salary paid to City Council members. Both pensions would be in addition to the $85,000-a-year County Board paycheck."

Beavers? More? What's the difference? 3 pensions! But I bet Joe wishes He had thought of something like that!

This year is harder for Him because of all of the other candidates. It puts a strain on His campaign funds. He likes to keep that as full as He can. It allows Him to work now on His campaign without spending any of His city paycheck.

But usually He just has to pay for a couple of family movies, speak at some other public function He had NOTHING to do with (can you believe how gullible people are?), maybe hold some kind of "service" faire where he serves potato chips and bologna or hands out pencils. His life is really nice when it's not an election year.

I want to see Him get His rewards. I hope people will continue to vote in my poll.
