Special Election for US Senate - Poll

[ron_newman]

The special primary election for Senator Kennedy's seat will take place on Tuesday, December 8. Seems like a good time to post a poll and find out who davis_square residents support. I'll probably post a second one a few days before the election.

Like previous political polls in our community, this one is public, with all votes publicly readable. If you'd like, post a comment saying why you support your favorite candidate (or oppose some other candidate). There are still a lot of undecided voters out here.

[Poll #1484875]

"As for the other candidates, City Year cofounder Alan Khazei listed assets between $347,000 and $1.1 million. He reported a salary - as chief executive at Be The Change Inc., a nonprofit - of $245,500 last year, and he also reported a $17,000 book advance from Public Affairs last November. According to the disclosure, he will also receive $8,500 upon acceptance of the book, and $8,500 upon hardback publication, in addition to royalties."

There may be more to it - but that salary seems really outrageous.

Other then envy, what it the point, really?

I think the other people in the company should judge whether they think he puts in the time and effort to justify that pay.
