Now if the men who write these posts were only 3 feet tall with flat heads, then we would have somewhere to put our beers. :0) All's fair in love and war!

SOOOO... how about those Mets?




Thanks Althea, hope I was able to answer your question. BTW, Junior hired me because I was his biggest pain in the arz constituent, when I called him about an on going problem, he said "well come on board and help me fix it", and so I did!

Truthfully it was one of the most satisfying jobs that paid me close to nothing! Putting aside the jerks, I met some of the most incredible people and walked away with a tremendous amount of respect for many of the folks who work 24/7 for their causes. ie: the Kesslers, Maureen Crowley, Jenny Meyer,The folks from the HPHNA ( what an amazing bunch) the downtown neighborhood watch group...started by pchops. Bright Moment, Stella Burgess from Holland Gardens, and the very special mom to our own ?mouse?, who on a daily basis makes a difference in so many peoples lives at Grace Church!


ps- METS RULE!

Althea, A council person?s aide is an assistant to the Councilperson.
The position is appointed and voted on by Council, the Aides term end with the Councilperson. By law a Councilperson?s aide is also required to do a full disclosure of real-estate holdings, financials and others sources of income.

I will not speak for the other Councilperson(s) and what they require of their aide(s). In my case when I worked for the former Councilman of downtown, I did the day to day operations in the office, the councilman?s scheduling, media/press releases, but mostly constituent services. I was hired because of my active role in the community and had/have no political aspirations, nor did I ?play on the computer in shout boxes?. My work ethics come from many years in private sector and it made for a very interesting transition into the world of ?government? Thank god I maintain the standards that I learned in the private sector. Councilman Maldonado took office in 2001 and hired me in 2003. During this time I had another job that had nothing or any connections to government etc.


Depending on who the Councilperson was/is, it could be a 7 day a week job, the problems especially those in downtown never took a day off. For the ward E Councilperson and their aide it?s a hard, thankless job, but at the end of the day very rewarding when you can fight for the constituents and help win the battle.

An aide is usually a personal assistant and / or secretary and / or handle constituent relations. They are likely to be young politicos in the making, hoping to crack in the political world. Dedicated aides usually end up becoming advisors like "chief of staff" or "district director" if the politico moves up the chain to Assembly, senate, congress, governor, county executive, ect., which is why aides work for little money and long hours. They are usually someone who is close to the elected, either through dedicated campaign work (often they start out as campaign employees) or through personal relationships. Some will go on to run for office themselves, or to work as political consultants, or lobbyists, and many will be absorbed by county parties and become mid level civil servants.

I don't know, but I think Fulop's aide can do anything.

Traditionally, they were the 'muscle.' They would go around breaking thumbs and busting knee caps.

Those were the days....

In Hudson county they process brown envelopes filled with unmarked bills, and if you are good at your job you earn the right to the nickname "Scooter".

Pink, I know you will probably answer this for me, but I am deeply curious.

What does she or he do? Are they a girl/guy friday? What are their qualifications, etc.
