Well, Well, Well. 2018’s First Thru the Legislator-to-Lobbyist Revolving Door Is…
…this guy. What, you were expecting him to represent workers or the disadvantaged? Of course, Short was representing the interests of this association and other business interests throughout his career in Dover. Burying minimum wage.

How about an injection of spiky punk energy to close out the working week? BTW, this has nothing in common w/the Henry Mancini standard with the same name:

Not just because we’ve had some horrible Council presidents, including the current embarrassment. But also b/c, as […]
