“I’ve actually got a bill in now to try to to promote greater efficiency in government by limiting the number of people appointed just on the basis of their political connections to the upper levels. The fact is that when someone is a political appointee, it’s their job to deliver on the unrealistic promises they made to get appointed.”
– Rep. Justin Parish of Juneau, on KINY radio, explaining how he has a bill in to grow a more “efficient” permanent public workforce and shrink the union-exempt workforce appointed by the governor … before explaining to the radio host that he actually doesn’t have a bill “in” but has a staff member working on one.
And it’s an appointed staff member with political connections, presumably.
