    Sweet Deal

    All the perks, but none of the responsibility.

    Apparently, its good to be Andy Dillon.  At least in terms of taking home a nice fat government sized paycheck. Snyder appointed the former top house Democrat, (remember this) Andy Dillon to the Michigan's top money collecting position in 2011, raising a few eyebrows from Republicans. In October of 2013, personal issues caused him to resign the six figure salaried position, again raising eyebrows; this time curious as to where he might end up.

    Assisting and advising the incoming treasurer was expected, but apparently its still going on, and its like he never left:

    "Dillon is being paid about $174,000 a year -- the same salary he received when he was treasurer.

    State Democrats believe Michiganders should be reimbursed.

    "Maybe in Rick Snyder's world it's okay to pay people not to work while giving outrageous bonuses to investment fund managers, but that's not the Michigan way," said Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lon Johnson in a media release. "Rick Snyder and Andy Dillon should repay taxpayers for the money that Dillon was paid not to work. The people of Michigan have a right to expect that taxpayer resources will be used to build a stronger middle class, not to pay off political cronies." "

    What what what?

    First off Mr Johnson, it was YOUR wife who raised nearly a $billion to fund the 'Chicago Way' which was brought nationwide. Secondly, Dillon is one of your guys.

    Send Julianna over to his crib with a pledge card for Mark.

    He could use the company anyhow.
