But can she get the Offense going again?
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008
The Columbus Dispatch passes on the news from Ohio State University that outgoing House Minority Leader Joyce Beatty has a $320,000/year job waiting for her when she leaves the legislature this year due to term limits. This position as Senior Vice President of “Outreach and Engagement” was created just for Beatty, it appears.
OSU President Gordon Gee is quoted as saying “Joyce is one of the most accomplished public servants I know…” Well, the rest of us can take a look at Rep. Beatty’s resume and accomplishments and decide for ourselves. My own thought is that Dr. Gee should get out and meet some more public servants: Beatty’s resume is decidedly run-of-the-mill for politicians, populated largely with the kind of recognition that falls your way when you spend other people’s money.
