The Post also reported that an unsuccessful candidate for mayor had actually been secretly working for Gray\u2019s campaign and used as an attack dog against the incumbent. Afterward, the stooge candidate was rewarded with a high-paying city job.<\/p>\n<p>Just when the proverbial excrement was about to hit the fan, Gray went into action. Moments before his chief of staff, Gerri Hall, was scheduled to testify before a council committee, Gray fired her, saying it was &#8220;the best direction for the city.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He claimed that Hall was becoming a &#8220;distraction,&#8221; and that personnel matters were &#8220;overshadowing the work of the government.&#8221; Mayor Gray said it was best for Ms. Hall &#8220;as a human being&#8221; to leave&#8211; to be canned&#8211; to help his administration get back on track. Ms. Hall, by the way, was making 200 grand a year,a $40,000 bump over her predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>It was not a good week for the city administrator\u2019s chief of staff, either. Before the scandal,he was making $195,000; that\u2019s now been cut to $193,000 (I don\u2019t know how he\u2019s going to survive.)<\/p>\n<p>You DC taxpayers?Chill out, though. Sure, the city is a mess andthe recession is going full throttle, butat least your government employees are living large &#8211;thanks to you&#8230;and the Democrat machine you elect.<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vincent Gray, the new mayor of Washington, DC, is already mired in scandal.
