Politics at its finest... - GMDino - 07-02-2016 Quote:Bridgeport to Layoffs Municipal EmployeesI was reading that story and it lead me to this... ![]() Seriously. How do we allow these people to run for office again? RE: Politics at its finest... - Rotobeast - 07-03-2016 (07-02-2016, 07:09 PM)GMDino Wrote: I was reading that story and it lead me to this... I've just started dabbling in local politics. If there is any question about the budget, I'm sure the books have to be produced to verify. That's not saying the numbers can't be fudged around to get the desired results. As far as the felony conviction, I know quite a few felons, even a couple who are federal. Every one of them is a productive member of society. That's not me speaking up for this cat, I'm just saying good people make mistakes and I've personally seen a friend railroaded by the federal govt.

But no one should be allowed to run for elected office, or be chosen to fill a government position, after being convicted of a felony WHILE IN AN ELECTED OFFICE. RE: Politics at its finest... - fredtoast - 07-03-2016 When it comes to being elected to office I see a differenec between crimes. I could possibly vote for a guy who had been covicted of drug charges or even a random act of violence, but I would never vote for a person who had been convicted of corruption, embezzlement, fraud, or anything like that. This guy had been convisted of corruption and as GM pointed out, that happened while he was in office. Maybe Marion Berry was his campaing manager.

However, shouldn't we be pointing and booing the people who elected him ? I mean... they had to know about it, right ? Maybe they were in a bind like we have for the presidential race ? Don't know and don't care enough to research it. ![]() |
