When you have one party Republican rule in Cape May County, you get someone new as your purchasing agent, and another worker loses her job. The hacks running the county have no shame, nor do they care, as long as they themselves have a fat paycheck, and there are jobs to fuel their political rewards system. Political patronage hurts all of us, especially when mediocrity becomes your standard. Thanks to a public that doesn't care, they win. Welcome to the third world.
