George P. Bush racks up 23 days out of state or off work since dad announced campaign
The Republic ^ | 9/13/15 | Associated Press

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush has been out of the state or otherwise off of work nearly half of the time since his father entered the GOP race for president, despite pledges to remain focused on his elected office.

The Houston Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1OO7yh7 ) examined Bush's calendar, agency records and social media accounts to determine that he had been away on personal time related to the presidential campaign and other reasons for 23 of the first 50 work days since his father, Jeb Bush, announced his bid on June 15.

According to the newspaper's analysis, George P. Bush took 15 full days off and dozens of smaller chunks of time that add up to eight more days. That includes campaigns stops for his father in Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, Maine and Texas.

General Land Office spokeswoman Brittany Eck said Bush makes up for time out of the office by working remotely and on weekends.

"Just because he's not sitting at his desk for the day doesn't mean that he's not working during that day," Eck said.

The Rich are different than you and me; they get sinecures and live off the public trough.

Look at his desk. George P. is signing autographs at work. I would hope they aren't fundraising autographs because that would be illegal.

So effeminate. And he thinks he’s part of the nitwit dynasty, too.

Jorge P Bush is getting a full time salary for only showing up to work 50% of official State of Texas workdays.

Won't they put him in jail without bail for NOT doing his job like they did the county commissioner? Hmmmm?

I voted for 41 twice, 43 twice, but I have to tell you, my eyes have been opened to a lot in the last few years, and the sense of entitlement this family has, absolutely sickens me. Jeb needs tomjust go away.

Theft of government funds. Just like Huma Abedin.

I am pretty sure 99% of the worthless POS elected officials would break out in hives if they put in an 8 hour day of honest work.

Politically connected appointee to part-time near no-show job. Job should be eliminated.

Funny. It means that for most workers.

Let the dynasty end!

What exactly are the duties of a Texas "Land Commissioner?"
What should a person who holds that office be doing all day?
