Just makes me want to reiterate that ANY person running for public office must pass a written test first geared towards the position for which they are applying. I have worked for the Federal gov’t, the state gov’t and city gov’t over a long secretarial career (by the way, working in private industry was much better as there were some in gov’t jobs that were not worth their paycheck and “had found a home”), and in every gov’t position for which I applied it required testing and a passing score...and I didn’t get affirmative action points.
INDEED. Include a test for psychopathy, as well.
