Just like at CitiStat, no one is allowed to address any real issues, like gang violence or crime, there is instruction to only speak with positive spin. Sometimes, you have to look at the infection to treat the wound, not ignore it so it festers such as Brown & Co. has been doing....It's an insult.

What could possibly be an explanation for this? After reviewing the old list from 2007 I noticed 17 Common Council interns with the last name of Brown that do not appear on the list just published.

That is not that much to run into a burning building or fight crime in an increasingly violent city. I don't think many people on the list are overpaid. Good for Brown.

The former is tough, but the latter two should be quite doable. Nice to link employment status to political contributions and activities.
