Six buck Shirley should have been the first to have been dispatched. In 2002, when they scorch earthed services to the children and the poor, unconscionably raised college and university tuition, gutted legal services to everyone except the rich , cut the minimum wage to $6 to keep the Dairy Queens happy, trivialized workers comp, I expect Shirley Bond was sitting there at the cabinet table with a big smile on her face.
What is he hiding now?
Oh give it a rest, Penman. Everyone knows the social services industry, that makes a living out of the budget meant for the bums, was over due to be reined in.
And anyone paying $6.00/hr is losing employees faster than they can hire them. Don't you get out of your closet and pull your little ear plugs out once in a while, peeman?
Campbell ought to shuffle himself out.
We wish acrider, we wish.....
But where else can one get paid so well for being such an $@%#$#&*&%
