Stupid Politician Tricks

[SoxFan]

Why, why, why do certain people in politics insist on doing stupid crap that makes all of us look like ultramaroons?

This sort of crap is the reason people are cynical about the political process. Holding elected office should be about public service, not personal profit!

City clerk suggests pay hikes for all

MANCHESTER – City Clerk Leo Bernier is pushing for several hundred thousand dollars in salary increases for Manchester's elected officials, including a 40 percent raise for the mayor.

Bernier would increase the mayor's salary from $68,000 to $95,389. His proposal would nearly quadruple the salary earned by aldermen and would increase school board members' pay six-fold.
