Cuyahoga County Recorder Lillian Greene sues for her $74,000-a-year job
The Plain Dealer ^ | June 22,2010 | Laura Johnston

Posted on 06/23/2010 5:46:16 AM PDT by mom4melody

Greene said in a 2009 interview that she began tapping her state pension because the job switch came with a steep reduction in pay -- from $121,350 a year as a judge to $73,564 as recorder last year.

"It's not double-dipping," Greene said at the time. "This is a necessity for me. How could I have afforded the lifestyle I had set for myself?"

On Tuesday, Greene denied that the lawsuit has anything to do with self-interest.

So she’s entitled to the lifestyle she’s chosen for herself??

“”It’s not double-dipping,” Greene said at the time. “This is a necessity for me. How could I have afforded the lifestyle I had set for myself?”

The two sentences kinda cancel each other out!

Try living within your means, lady. That’s what the rest of us have to do.

Oh great, now I need a new keyboard (coffee spit-take).

This "lady" is the poster child for liberalism.

Ahhhh Cleveland

Liberal populace

Liberal leadership

Heard yesterday that that the city of Cleveland is absolutely THRILLED that they ONLY lost 4,000 people last year in population (roughly %1), as opposed to the previous years.

Maybe oBaMa can step in and send some stimulous money to help you maintain your expected lifestyle.

Ok, so if she is “entitled” to the lifestyle she had set for herself, how about the millions of people who are losing everything because they were laid off and can’t find work and are trying to support their families..... AND DON’T WANT GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS!! I swear I’m getting so fed up with these people in government who think WE OWE THEM!

It is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, you know, life, liberty and the pursuit of a really great lifestyle one sets for themselves........

.........Preferably at the taxpayers expense.

most of us believ we are entitled to the lifestyle we choose for ourselves, if we work to pay for it

obama would take exception to that

You just can’t make up stuff like this.

Sounds like she might get a chance to live on unemployment benefits for awhile. Like so many of the “small people”.

What I meant was....she thinks she gets to choose how much she is going to make, and we don’t, if we work for another.

The usual LIB loser. She fits many stereotypes, just at a “higher” level. No shame. No morals. No integrity. Sitting at the trough. She should be frog-marched to the nearest jail and humiliated. Entitled? Get off the dole, you loser. And to think she was a judge. ALL her rulings should be overturned.

Yeah.

And that change from 3 commisioners to an exec and a council? Big deal. It’s still going to be corrupt.

Last I heard, quarter ton Jimmy was still walking free...

If you read the comments at the link, you find out that she fired a woman for telling an obama joke. Woman not only lost her job, but ended up in foreclosure, and lost her home. This woman is pure evil!
