He doesn't know much

Jeepers! Didya see the weird love-post Tom Treece wrote about Mayor Al in the Monday issue of the Monroe Snooze? The gist of it was that Mayor Al is a decent guy because he lets little girls slap him in the face with a pie for charity. Because he's that cool, he should have the right to have a car at taxpayer expense, let his cronies have a closed meeting and fire top employees without any public explanation necessary.
It would make sense that these two are fans of each other. Both have elevated themselves to stations in life higher than the average county resident, but with half the talent.
Mayor Al is a career trough-feeder. To hear Tom tell it, though, he turned over his whopping United Way salary to feed the poor each year. Tom for his part, has bounced from job to job. He's an expert on his relationship with God, his relationship with his beautiful wife Renee (and previous wives) and his relationship with Vietnam. But I'm not sure he's an expert on Monroe. Heck, he's been living in Luna Pier for years. In fact, he recently got demoted from his job as Luna Pier administrator.
Hey wait, maybe that's it! Maybe he's angling to be the new Monroe city manager. He's got experience and can even spin the discs at those K of C lounge gatherings. You know, those private club meetings where the public's business really is decided.
But what do I know?
