Well the kids done for the summer...the budgets been passed, the taxes have been raised and only four months late...maybe I can get some much deserved rest now...what'd that old song say?..."See you in September".
Lemme tell you though I'm gonna miss the stipend...I mean it was nice picking up that extra pay every day for four months just for doing nothing! Oh sure, there was the occasional press release to be transmitted, after all the kid still needs to take credit for the pork he hands out...I mean what's $500 to the little league if you can't brag about it...but mostly, since April, its just been a lot of sitting around, lunch at the Ft. Orange Club, drinks at the bar in the Crowne Plaza. Not a bad gig. Then, just raise taxes $1.2 billion, fudge some revenue projections, borrow from the State Pension Fund to pay the State Pension Fund (that one was sweet) and get the hell outta Dodge!
I hope the kids headed out to Dad's place in the Hamptons for a few weeks...Yonkers is too hot in August
