Coming Out Better in the End

Former Demopolis City Councelman Mike Baker dropped out of the last election runoff, even though he had won the majority of the general election votes. Dropping out after the election gave Jackie Cooley the win by default. It was speculated at the time a job with the city probably was pending, since Baker could not work for the city and hold office at the same time.

Last Thursday, Baker was appointed as the city's public works superintendent. I imagine it pays better than holding the district 5 seat.

Re: Coming Out Better in the End

Word on the street was that he knew they was going to open a job. I think that it was opened with him in mind to start with. The city just posted it to make it look good. I would like to know who else wanted it. I know Mike has a good back ground as a supervisor. He was at one time Captain of the Fire Department and was a supervisor at the Trash Can Factory. (Can't remember the name of the company) Anyway, Let me say this. I like Mike and I think he will do a good job for the city. I also know how it looks to the public eye. Good Luck Mike!!!

Mike is a likable guy. If this scenario had happened on wall street it would have been called "insider trading" and jail time would be possible!

Not belittling Mike. Just pointing out how different parts of our society have different standards!

No!!!!

It was a serious thing when I was there and not a game to me!

However, there is not enough money, sexy women or good cajun food to ever entice me there again. I did my service!!!!!

Seriously, Managing our (taxpayers) money is a serious business though not every person selected has the capability. (I may have been one of them). However, it's the best system I know of. (but I haven't visited the brazilian jungles yet!.

Re: Coming Out Better in the End

To be in politics is a difficult position. You cannot please everyone and the ones you do not please will go out of their way to belittle you. I would think it is even worse in a small town as Demopolis. I am going to come back to Demopolis and run for Mayor! of Gallion.

I can eat cornbread out of a coke bottle with these chicklets!

My last reply was meant to be more humorous than serious.

But on the serious side, involving yourself in local (or higher) political office can be a personally rewarding experience. When I served, the negatives were very infrequent.
