Buddy, you ain’t seen cronyism, until you have worked for the government. My family and I have worked in the military, universities, public schools, and the level of waste, bulls**t, and other things is jaw dropping.

Police:
Officers used police cars to go grocery shopping on duty.
Used cars for sex while on night duty.
Used cars for sleeping on night duty.
Filled up personal gas from the police vehicle pumps.
Stole things not claimed from the theft/recovery department.
Spent most of the shift at dunkin’ doughnuts.
Left loaded shot guns in interrogation rooms with suspects.
Promoted friends in the department despite terrible test scores.
Refused back up requests from officers they didn’t like.
Stole drugs from drug addicts.
Engaged in racism, sexism on duty.
Beat people even if they weren’t suspects.
Took bikes home to their kids from the stolen/recovery department.
Pulled over cars to flirt with woman.
Fixed tickets for friends.

Public Schools:
~Pricipals higher children from staff member of other schools and vice versa.
~Principals hire children from long serving staff members to fill their retirement seats.
~School purposely categorize black kids as L.D. learning disabled to qualify and get more money from the government, even if the kids aren’t. Those same black kids are THEN exempt from standardized tests, so that low scores won’t show the school as failing, and keep the gov’t money rolling in.
~Teachers and staff misuse parent/teach fundings for their own kids, or their favorite students.
~School encourage minority parents to list their children as poor, so that free breakfast/lunch programs will stay funded. (Title 1 program$$)
~Teachers are encouraged to give minority student favorable grades so as to not look like a failing school. + more federal money!

Why do you think he wanted everyone else to forgo raises? Someone had to pay for the bonuses.

This .. and being blind and black .. should put him on a fastrack into o-blah-blah’s administration and possibly on his way to being the country’s first (real) Black president.

If anything, this shows great promise for the ADA.

Flession, I seriously doubt anyone will make a big deal out of this in NY Democrap circles.

Well, if people didn’t protest when Lord Barry’s wife got a raise at her position while the school got a increase of government contracts, I don’t think that they will say much about this.

I do wonder if he’ll get extra immunity for being blind and black.
