When Scott Brown helps Bob Hedlund count to five, the taxpayers of Massachusetts give him $15,000.
Brown is the Assistant Minority Whip in the State Senate. As such, it is his job to help Minority Whip Hedlund round up and count Republican votes.
There are five Republicans in the State Senate.
The Assistant Minority Whip gets a stipend of $15,000 for his additional duties...helping the Whip count to five.
(I wonder...when Scott Brown helps count to five, is he responsible for the odds or the evens?)
So remember, the next time Scott Brown suggests that he is a fiscal conservative who cares about what happens to our money, what he really means is that he cares about the 15,000 clams we put into his pocket last year because he helped another Republican count to five.
I’ll bet he didn’t need any help counting our $15,000.
