Stapleton’s going to be a four year treasure too, make no mistake.
I don’t think that Gessler is a problem either, but I really don’t think Stapleton has a thing to worry about. I think his ability to provide for himself is admirable, and relieves the state of some burden.
As for Gessler, talk to me when a law is broken. Progress Now’s inuendo and smear means nothing to me.
because that would make sense.
you should have a problem with anyone seeking a full-time public sector job, especially one as important as AG, but who divides his attention by working on the side.
You mean by pulling down six figures from his side job, he won’t have to sign up the little ones for free school breakfasts? What a stand-up guy! If only those poor people would get off their duffs and have their family real estate firms throw them somes bone!
Defend him. I dare you.
but could you please explain what you mean by “and relieves the state of some burden”?
“When” a law is broken? Didn’t you mean “if”? Oh, wait! These are Republicans and conflict of interest issues we’re talking about here.
You’re right — “when” is a better choice of words.
Which job are you going to spend the lions share of your time on:
1. Colorado State Treasurer $68,000/year or;
2. Sonomawest at $150,000/year?
The Treasurer is responsible for investing and sheperding the taxes we pay into sound investments and insuring the money is not lost. The Treasuer is responsible for billions of dollars in tax revenues each year while Sonomawest is responsible for two industrial parks in California but the Treasuer is going to receive most of his income from Sonomawest; so which one will he really be paying attention to?
Messrs. Stapelton and Gessler should have worked all of this out before either one of them began running for office but they didn’t. Now we are stuck with them and their conflicts of interest for the next four years. Both of these gentlemen are more worried about their own back pocket than they are about their public trust and their obligations to us, the citizens of Colorado.
If they needed to talk to him for a couple of hours each month, that’s understandable (and probably not worth collecting any pay over). But if he’s going to put real time and attention into Sonomawest, then what happens to our investments. Because doing that job well requires the vast majority of your focused attention.
When I was a state employee, I took a part-time job reading law books into a tape recorder for a blind law student and I went through all the requirements to disclose it and get consent by my employer, who had to make sure that this job didn’t present any actual or apparent conflicts of interest with my employer’s business. I got $10 an hour and made probably $400 total.
If I’da been a Republican, I guess I could have moonlighted for double or triple my state salary and never given it a second thought.
What. The. Fuck. Is this world coming to?
