The local repuke pols prove me wrong....

So asked Collin County Commissioner Jerry Hoagland at Tuesday's court meeting. On his soapbox again about bi-lingual workers pay, he asked,
"When are we going to have to hire A-rabs? When are we going to have to hire Indians, and everything else?"Jerry wasn't talking about the county's lack of a working equal employment action plan. He was protesting the county paying a 3% higher salary for a bi-lingual juvenile detention officer.
Hoagland told the court
that his "wife runs the Passport Office in Plano", and that they don't have any Spanish interpreters. Hoagland says his wife tells Spanish speakers they need to, "bring somebody who speaks English".Following on the heels of the county's forcing out of a gay employee and their refusal to enact a meaningful equal employment policy, Tuesday's incident proves that these "good old boys" are out of touch with the moral values of the vast majority of Americans. Racism should have no place in county government, not even in Collin County.
