Political "logic"?

In an article in the Morton Grove Champion it is related how the village board unanimously approved the hiring of a political crony of Barack Obama to lobby for the sum of $4,000 per month plus expenses.

Sadly, it seems as though this mayor's answer to every problem is to throw taxpayers money at it and hope that something will change.

$48,000 per year plus expenses to schmooze legislators... and the board unanimously approved this???

In the article,  DiMaria states that "it's a small amount of our budget for a pretty big return". That statement is interesting... wrong, but interesting.

We have been committed to spend the money up front and there is no return at this point.

Political logic, Mr. Mayor?
