BOSTON -- Department of Labor Director Angelo Buonopane, who was the focus of news reports that he kept short work days and took frequent vacations, resigned on Tuesday.

Joseph Donovan, director of communication for the Executive Office of Economic Development, the agency Buonopane worked for, said Buonopane delivered his resignation to Gov. Mitt Romney late in the day and Romney accepted.
....
Buonopane, 57, defended his work habits to the Globe, saying, "Everything is on the up and up, and everything is accounted for."

The Globe reported that on eight of the 19 days, his average work day lasted two hours and 51 minutes, and his lunches often lasted more than two or three hours.

Buonopane, who earned $108,000 a year, also reportedly took seven and a half weeks of vacation last year and three and a half weeks in the first three months of 2005.

3. I don't often see the print version of the Globe

...but happened to see that spotlight article, complete with compelling photos! I laughed my ass off.

Mitt the Shitt--reforming government, my ass. I guess reform is not important when you are handing out OBSCENELY huge patronage jobs to high rollers and political donors/operatives.

Jeez, it's par for the course when any pol gets some old party bastard a job as a janitor or clerk, but this on its face was beyond egregious...stupid man, stupid, carpetbagging, doesn't-get-the-nuance man.
