  Neither I nor the article said unlimited or massive leave banks, or 33% days off. You dishonestly made that up.

      <![CDATA[Marty, I'm hardly standing on bringing my own whole wheat, peanut butter, banana and honey sandwiches to work but, seriously, if you go by my lowest $20/hour carpenter rate, I'm already more than earning the $30,000 or whatever council people make going to public meetings, cleaning up neighborhoods, building stuff for community groups, etc. What I'm really after is a bathroom stall with a landline in it ;-)

      <![CDATA[Scott: nice try, but as a plank in a platform that's not going to take you very far. If you want to be swept into office, try this: promise, if elected, to either waive your Council salary or donate it to St. Jude.

      <![CDATA[The fact that the multi millionaire politicians and corrupt administrators have looted the treasury does not justify using budget shortfalls as a sleazy excuse to discard human beings when they 'break'. <br>

  Rolling over sick leave didn't bankrupt the city.
