Douglas’ option to nod rather than shake

( – promoted by odum)

Vermont’s lame duck and thrifty Governor Jim Douglas is headed off to the Far East (is it still called that ?) on a Fall harvest trip seeking EB-5 investors for his business friends but first he had to get one of the earlier taxpayer funded flu shots(seasonal flu) before taking flight .

VtBuzz had the ironically sickening details  

Douglas said he got his flu shot courtesy of the state employee wellness program. That’s the program that was proposed for elimination during the administrations unsuccessful negotiations with the Vermont State Employees Association.

Always ready to reassure Douglas it is noted  ….

he said he doesn’t take offense if someone prefers to nod, rather than shake.

One thought on “Douglas’ option to nod rather than shake

  1. When it comes to putting tax payer dollars into his own pocket, cranking up his salary until he is one of the highest paid governors in the country, giving his staff raises that far outstrip the 5% reduction he trumpets so often, Jim=his own job is second to none.  The free flu shot is just another example of a governor who dislikes the role size and scope of the government that has paid his salary for ????  his entire adult life???  And what do we have to show for it???  No bold program changes, static or regressive wage and job growth, and websites that joke about someone who can’t find the spot his belt is suppose to be???  

    This Junket to the East is just another perk for a guy who has done little for us.  Time for a change…
