re: #406 Walter L. Newton

Did I make any comparisons to “rich?” No. I said, she has been in public service, holding a public office, for 17 years. I call that a career. period.

No you didn’t.
I find it unusual for a politician (17 years, as you point out) to make that small amount of money.
The average is usually in the neighborhood of a quarter million once they do the “full disclosure” thing.
Except, of course, for Rod Blagojevich and the pols here in Colorado.
