Ya know I have been thinking about how I felt that since this was his
private life that he should have not been asked to step down. After careful thought and reading - I want to throw out a new opinion that I knew about but did not stop to consider.
My son who is very protective of his credit rating and his wifes made me think of this point of view. (He has gone to the point to put her in "rehab" for credit cards - that means he cancels hers...LOL)
A cop's credit rating is something any department looks at when hiring. Cops have to have good credit - ya can't have a cop out there chasin the bad guys with bad credit - too easy to fall into the many gutters out there they trudge thru. Plus if ya can't count on a cop - well need I say more. Used to be that cops could "owe" like most of us - but bad credit cops are a liability to the city and the department they represent.
Now take this same ideaology and apply it to politics. I think he can do his job no matter what his checkbook shows but I also wonder - will it be more of a temptation to him to cut a deal with someone that could help him out of this bad financial situation? What does it say about
DC - when the mayor can't manage his own finances.
Now I'm not SURE if my mind is changed - but I sure am startin to think that maybe I didn't think the "whole" thing out.
