Union Causes Bill Widmer to Change His Tune on $6,000 Party

Original post made by Public Influence, Atherton: other, on Dec 1, 2012

After requesting staff work on the $6,000 Party at the end of his term as Mayor and McKeithen's term on the council, Bill Widmer changed his mind Wednesday night and voted no to the party.

The APOA and the Staff, which Widmer voted to Furlough to save $14,000 in compensation, advised the city manager they would not attend.

At length the hour of shutting up the counting-house arrived. With an ill-will Scrooge dismounted from his stool, and tacitly admitted the fact to the expectant clerk in the Tank, who instantly snuffed his candle out, and put on his hat.

'You'll want all day tomorrow, I suppose?' said Scrooge.

'If quite convenient, sir.'

'It's not convenient,' said Scrooge, 'and it's not fair. If I was to stop half-a-crown for it, you'd think yourself ill-used, I'll be bound?'
The clerk smiled faintly.
'And yet,' said Scrooge, 'you don't think me ill-used, when I pay a day's wages for no work.'

The clerk observed that it was only once a year.

'A poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every twenty-fifth of December!' said Scrooge, buttoning his great-coat to the chin. 'But I suppose you must have the whole day. Be here all the earlier next morning.'
