The Fresh Prince of Prince George's County
---
Remind me again how politicians are all "selfless public servants"?
Little commentary is necessary, except to note, once again, that the less the government does, the less that it can be abused and the less attractive it becomes for parasites like County Executive Jack B. Johnson and his leech cronies.
Since Prince George's [Maryland] County Executive Jack B. Johnson (D) took office four years ago, 15 of his friends and political supporters have been awarded 51 county contracts totaling nearly $3.3 million, according to records and interviews.You can read the specifics on your own.
In several cases, Johnson awarded county contracts to supporters after he failed to persuade the County Council or others to place them in county jobs. He has also created at least a dozen high-profile positions and filled them with supporters, including fraternity brothers. Some of those who received contracts or jobs had no expertise in the field, and others did not produce written reports required by the county.
