Election brings good fortune to one family

My mother-in-law, whose "hobby" is politics, did well in the recent Colombian elections. A family friend won election as senator from Cordoba and another gained office as "representante en la camera". Normally this might bring only the satisfaction of knowing that the "right" candidates prevailed but in Colombia it's so much more. The new office holders have promised her that they plan to secure a much better position for her lawyer daughter in Bogota. They have also promised to award government business to my brother-in-law, an electrical engineer, as well as find a better job for my other brother-in-law. Feliz Navidad, voters!

Richard Daley Sr! Better make sure you let everyone know you are speaking about the late Richard J Daley Sr. If you think that the patronage system is bad, how can anyone explain how Chicago AKA Cook County and the CTA ever got gas tax dollars to leave Kane County and magically appear for Chicago's public transit use which violated Illinois State Law!

Originally from Illinois, incase you couldn't tell! Sorry, but has nothing to do with Colombia!
