It's not uneducated, it's anti-intellectual. That's also why Rob can be a millionaire with street cred for looking out for the little guy.

"Firefighters told to mow grass: East Cleveland Mayor Eric Brewer is requiring firefighters to cut grass, trim shrubs and perform other municipal chores while on duty to help an overburdened Service Department care for parks and other public areas, which make up a large portion of the city."

"TCHC was a mess, and I brought Jones in to fix it. If that ruffled a few feathers from the unions and Miller's gravy train appointees then so be it. They're just mad that they they couldn't just sit back and take in the gravy. Now we're on the right track. Had to be done. Actions speak louder than words. Subways."

Ahhh... I didn't say they were Honey Boo Boo types. I said they were "uneducated" (a word I despise which is generally tossed around to mean "stupid").

Don't disagree but to be fair, I think "honey boo boo" types might be both.

I didn't say our neighbours were honey boo boo types either. I agreed they weren't.

If this had happened under Miller's watch while Ford was a councillor, he'd be having a hissy fit right about now. But, since he's now the mayor, he supports Jones 100%. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

Report also finds that Jones hired Councillor Vincent Crisanti's executive assistant without competition, promoted her six months

later to manager, then made her a senior director, for a $30,000 raise. She had volunteered on Rob Ford's 2010 campaign.

Pud99 sent me a PM noting that this is from a parody account -- sorry Pud, but the system wouldn't let me reply to you via PM.
I know that's a parody account, but not everyone will. People skim and scan, and these parody accounts look very realistic so there may well be people who think it's ok to call 911. Of course, if they do, they could blame the Mayor

If Ford supports Jones 100%, even after today, should we then take that as an assumption that Jones has a criminal record we are unaware of?

Ahhhh, I didn't imply that my neighbours were Honey Boo Boo types. I said they were often brilliant despite a lack of education. The area suffered from a bad reputation probably based around the facts that it was surrounded by stinky factories and unsightly car part yards.
If you had to be tested for lead poisoning in the 1970's perhaps we were neighbours.
(EDITED*** Sorry, somehow my first writing got posted)

Good point. I'm guilty of judging based on what I *heard* about the show rather than a first hand opinion so looky-here, I did exactly the same thing.
