Last night I was too tired to report on the Joy Spriggs matter, but today I see David Rutherford has done so and even has a video of John Campbell Sr.'s remarks. See his blog post and video here.
If you are not yet familiar with Plainfield View, it is the newest Plainfield blog. Bookmark it!
All the current bloggers are beyond retirement age, so it is good to have the perspective of a much younger Plainfielder in the mix.
I may post later on the Spriggs issue, but having John Campbell's rhetoric verbatim gives people a good idea of how he has maintained his political influence over the decades.

Bogus - That is why there is COBRA to extend medical for 18 months. Obamacare is too easy of a target so I will leave that out.
ReplyDeleteI was watching the video and had to stop half way through it. Where was Mr. Campbell when many City employees were layed off. About to lose their benefits, their homes? I'm sorry but this is an appointed position and she has a career as a lawyer to fall back on. Employees who were laid off were not as lucky or fortunate.
ReplyDeleteNo bleeding heart here.
It's amusing to watch Mr Campbell, a Republican, advocate for retaining an employee solely on the basis of reported need. He makes no attempt to argue her value - it's a pure sympathy play.
ReplyDeleteIt's not so amusing to watch him waste the council's time on what amounts to a personal matter - she's his sister-in-law.
