Good read thanks. She's been a solid mayor and I love that she stands up to the righties who try to gridlock anything she does ala congress and Obama.

The part in there about inside/outside the 610 loop is dead on. Inside the loop has more liberal neighborhoods and once you get to the burbs it's yeehaw good ol boy territory.

I hope she runs for governor.

Quite a bit excessive indeed. That $288k could've been used on many other more appropriate things within the VA.

That's my director. The va undersecretary was at our office today as well as the press. Place is a total circus.

I thought they were focusing on getting things tightened up there? It hasn't gotten any better obviously which is sad.

How can they justify that large of an expense?

The previous director one day up and relocated. Rumor was he was banging some Asian chick at our office ( he's married with kids) and got busted. They shipped his ass out to LA. She was brought in to clean the place up. They hire idiots they can't fire. The front office act like their shtein don't stink. I just took over another teams digits and they're a farging mess. They change regulations which supersedes the previous regulation which was just changed. There's sbout 10 different regulations you have to follow to complete a claim and their systems are constantly going down.

PhillyPhreak54 · March 25, 2015, 08:50:37 PM

So are they oblivious to the dysfunction and public heat? Or they don't give a shtein?

Sounds a lot like corporate life to me.
