F. Vernon Boozer has been a political hack since time began.
They are all paid way too much money.
So he created 2 jobs, but 5 were lost.
See how he gets his numbers now? 2 more jobs created!
Just "payback" for their "campaign contributions". Bribery DOES pay off.
Old Vern is not only a hack, he's a former EXCEPTIONALLY LIBERAL state senator from Baltimore County who eventually had to give up his seat because he is a certified DRUNK.
