I’m beginning to think that the other guy in power has a simple application form for people wishing to join his administration. It just has three checkboxes:
- Did you, or are you now, working for a union?
- Do you cheat on your taxes, or occasionally forget to do them?
- There is no third qualification requirement.
A former top official for a huge New York union who is now the White House political director failed to disclose more than $37,000 in income from the union last year, it was reported yesterday.
As the former public-affairs executive for Service Employees International Union Local 1199, Patrick Gaspard earned $37,191 in carried-over pay while on the White House payroll.
He failed to disclose the income on financial-disclosure forms, Politico reported. Where arrangements for payment by a former employer must be listed on the form, he checked a box indicating he had nothing to report.
