As I said, his wife should get a job. The new Pupatela in South Arlington is hiring and is close to their home

Plenty of non wealthy people have been on the board and not gone bankrupt. If you can’t manage on the salary offered, you shouldn’t run for the job.

Because that is something a financially responsible person would do. Someone who has over $80,000 in credit card and personal loans is not financially responsible.

Is it a full time job or is he making it a full time job? The county manager handles running the county on a daily basis.

+1

You're supposed to run for the Board if you care about the well-being of the county. Now we have two "consultant" carpetbaggers who are looking at it as a paycheck and career option.

Who is the other one?

Katie Cristol.

What a judgmental and nasty thing to say.

Of course it is judgmental. People elected him and should judge his performance.

Nasty? Only if you think democracy is nasty.

It’s true, though. His personal approach to tough financial choices was to take on more debt and hope for the best. Is that what we want for the county?

Please stop. The man has been doing an excellent job for the county.

Madame Feldman stop posting.

This thread is far into stupid.

You’re very naive if you think bribery and kickbacks are not a concern when a local official is having money problems. Hopefully Dorsey is better than that.

I’m laughing at the implicit notion that Audrey Clement or Arron O’Dell would have been a better option than Dorsey, even with the bankruptcy.

Um, no one is implying that. We're explicitly expressing our concern over his personal financial situation and handling of the donation. All of this has been documented by the Washington Post.

IDK about this. The jury is still out in Moco on Elrich. Maybe he can work out a more equitable school plan.

So if he’d announced his bankruptcy a month before the election when he filed, who would you have voted for?

Are you serious? This kind of financial kerfuffle would prevent you from even the lowest security clearance level.

No, I’m pissed that he has been having this problem for a long time. And he hid it from the ACDC and they didn’t advise him not to run and find another candidate a year ago. OR, that they knew, and kept it quiet until after the election.

Either way, I feel lied to and I voted for him. He shouldn’t have run.
