"City Council approves $50,000 Tingle settlement"

"RACINE — The City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved paying former Mayor Gary Becker’s administrative assistant $50,000 to settle a discrimination complaint."

Racine's City Council sat by and watched while former mayor Gary Becker partied his way through office, apparently attempting to inseminate every female he encountered. Those yahoos said NOTHING about Becker's behavior, even though blogs were so filled with tales of his misdeeds and lies that he held a special meeting with the bloggers in an attempt to defuse their ire. These "representatives of the people" silently smiled as Becker staggered through one term and started another. Yesterday they approved a payoff of 50,000 of our tax dollars to cover their negligence.

Party on!

Wouldn't it be great to see members of the City Council man up, apologize to the citizens of Racine for their negligence, and offer to pay for the settlement out of their own pockets?

And wouldn't it be great to see pigs fly? Or at least held accountable for their actions?

More money for more cronies.

Party on and on and on!

And the city council wonders why we don't trust them.

10 million for an illegal drug search, 50,000 for getting F'ed over by Becker. The world is NUTS!

Orbs, do you seriously think the City Council members find themselves remotely culpable? I don't. Arrogance abounds in those with power.

They are probably thinking this was a small payout that didn't hurt them one bit and that it conveniently sweeps the past clean.
