POLITICS: The 'bloated' politicians

Published on Jan 04, 2008
So Slaughter, Reynolds, and Walsh need to lease cars to cover their gerrymandered districts. Big surprise. What about the chauffeur and bodyguard and chief of staff, too? If they are going to screw taxpayers, at least they could get a decent lease.

Slaughter pays $800 for a Buick Lucerne? No wonder the government is in deficit. A semi-literate person could get it for under $400. It isn't her money, so she wastes it. At least the others have better a deal. Now who will lease MY car so I can get around and to work to pay my US, New York, Monroe County, town, and school taxes?
