Not directly related to the fee issue, but ceratinly a bureaucratic BS issue none the less is the issue with the mayor of Lawrence, Willie Mantegua (?) who is also a state Rep.
Double dipping is coming back into style again.
Please explain how a person can do 2 jobs successfully when they both require his full attention, and he claims he is doing this for the people (at least that what he sounds like he's saying, but what do I know, I'm not bilingual.)
This guy had the chief of police demoted because he wasn't bilingual, yet the mayor himself can barely piece together a cohesive sentence. I hear his interviews on the radio, and it makes Mumbles Menino sound like Einstein!

He won't step down from one of the jobs because he claims he can do both jobs equally well. Now he's voting on a bill that will get the state to "lend" his city 35 million.

Here is a person who has his ex-wife, his wife and his girlfriend all on the city payroll. His girlfriend was reportedly going around telling workers that if they didn't do what she asked, she'd have them fired (And she did).
Then there's the fact that Martha Coakley hasn't done anything about this corrupt situation, probably because she used his offices for her failed senate campaign and because he was a staunch supporter of her campiagn. Gee, you think she'd actually do anything about this without incriminating herself? Probably not, but what do you expect in Massachusetts?
