Posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Tue May 29 20:34:03 2012, in response to Re: Councilwoman Koslowitz rips (abandoned Rockaway) train line @ C.B. 6 Queens, posted by The Silence on Tue May 29 19:49:53 2012. is there a requriement in this city that when you are elected to politcal office that you be thrown down a flight of stairs several times?One could argue that the high opportunity costs of running lead to a problem where the intelligent and connected prefer to make their money in the private sector, the smart, less connected, and less ambitious end up filling in civil service analyst positions or leaving New York, leaving the relatively photogenic, ambitious, but questionable to run for many of the political offices, especially at the local level. I've had people tell me to "run for office" because I "sound so smart", but I'm not willing to give up my privacy, owe favours to people, and become a phony to run for office only to make $70K to $125k per year as some flunky city council person, county legislator, or member of state legislature. |
