Trying Economic Times for Wilmington's Baker Government

...as evidenced by video from this month's city government fluff show "Wilmington : In the Middle of It All"

Can't you tell Mayor Baker is hard at work justifying all those sacrifices he will force citizens to make by subjecting us to his across-the-board tax, fee, fine, and penalty increases?

Somehow I doubt Mayor Baker would even think to "let us eat cake". He would have already horked it all down for himself...

Somehow I also doubt that the vast vast majority of city residents being daily fleeced by this pig and his piglets could scarcely afford a meal at the Green Room, much less the one being lavished on these "public servants" in this disgraceful broadcast display of official self-indulgence.

Here is yet another high water mark for use of public time, resources, and taxpayer-funded government television :

Rago likes the "rough stuff". Baker says 'as long as it gets the job done'. Yes, classy indeed.

Incidentally, this rather pathetic-if-it-wasn't-so-expensive Wilmington government propaganda station recently posted adds for a "Station Manager" :

STATION MANAGER (WITN CH 22) WE ARE AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION/EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER SALARY: $65,000 w/ excellent benefit package

Obviously such high production value and excellent content warrant a $65,000/year public paycheck for some deserving servant.
