'Fraudulently Fluffing' The Jobs Report

Joe-

I'm thinking about this post you put up on Thursday:

Are Poll Workers Being Used to Inflate Jobs Report?

I'm an election worker in a Lower-shore county, and we just received paperwork, including W-4s, etc. that was mailed out on Friday (3 days AFTER the election when we all worked), and it has to be returned within a week.

One worker who has been helping for many years said "I've never been asked to fill out any paperwork-- this is the first time this has ever happened.

"Indeed.

You'll recall what your post said:

"..if the election boards in all 50 states suddenly report an influx of additional government workers, the effect on the monthly employment numbers could be very, very significant..."

And the report will come out right before the election.

But somebody might say "Well, after the election, there will be a big spike in the unemployment numbers."

I think not. We are on a two-year term to serve as election workers, and if the term isn't up, we're still technically "employed," right? (even if we only work a couple of days every two years..)

What a scam!

The next Jobs Report is due on October 8th. You just watch and see what they do.

Joe the message has nothing to do with this post. But, there is a rumor going around that allen webster has teamed up troy durham and helped him with a lawyer (possibly the same one he used to sue you or at least the same office) so troy can sue sheriff jones and the county for millions of dollars. This will be coming out when election time nears. Allen webster is doing this to help him get elected of sheriff of somerset county. I think if you do a little research you find this is true.

If this is true then voters need to wake up and see that AW hasnt changed his ways from when he was in Salisbury.More than one judge has denied Durhams appeal.Some of us still havent forgotten the whole Rachel Polk-Casey Tilghman brouhaha that Webster "didnt see" even though he was RIGHT THERE!
