But we did have security taking the First Lady around under Peterson didn’t we? I mean while thats important to secure her safety I think some of those guys also doubled as staff for her. If not I can not imagine that she was on her own to schedule appts and the like. That unpaid job is too important for her to be ont he phone at home setting up her own schedule. Someone in past Mayor’s offices did that for the Mayor’s wife I am sure.

This is ridiculous. Another new job?? So much for his promise to cut staff.

Ballard also hired a Chief of Staff for his wife. No other mayor had that.

I’d like to have someone comment on that.
