The Back Room

Our local politicians are pelted by constituents 24 hours a day. They hear about the pot-hole, the broken street-light, and the over-flowing dumpster. They bump into people at coffee shops, they see constituents at the dry cleaners, and say hello in line at the grocery store. After all the hello’s and how-are-you-doing’s, they come home at night to messages on their answering machine. It’s a never-off-the-clock job.
