How much clearer could it be? You have a public official--a city council member--collecting mroe than $80,000 a year to work on the city's problems and serve in a leadership role. On the very day AFTER the mayor drops a doomsday budget and the council is to go to work looking for solutions, the officials gets on a plane and heads far away so she can moonlight at her other job.
Now this may not be illegal, as someone pointed out, just as it not illegal for your Congressman to go off on junkets, stay home and watch Guiding Light while eating crackers on the couch, play golf or however else he'd like to while away the time in the midst of a national crisis...but wouldn't you want to know? Wouldn't that be an issue when they campaigned again, promising to devote themselves full-time to working in your interest? Wouldn't that help you make an informed choice and separate the campaign bull from what's really hapenning?
