It’s good to be the Queen.
I hope Sheila Jackson Lee doesn't hear what you just said.
Hiding knives from a member of Congress for fear of your own life. Having cellphones thrown at you. Being cursed at in front of your parents. Being told, Im a queen, and I demand to be treated like one.Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Texas Democrat, has a reputation as one of the toughest taskmasters in Congress to have as a boss, and the numbers appear to justify it.
The Washington Times analyzed a decade of congressional pay records to find the offices with the highest turnover rates and found 27 members who over a period of four or more years lost an annual average of at least one-third of their staff who sought calmer pastures or were fired.
Each year, an average of half of Mrs. Jackson Lees staff quits, and one year, all but six of 23 staffers left.
Mona Floyd, who served as the congresswomans legislative director, has monocular vision and has a lawsuit pending against Mrs. Jackson Lee, who was voted the meanest member of the House in a bipartisan survey of Hill staffers by Washingtonian magazine last year. Ms. Floyd said she was told by the representative, I dont care anything about your disability.
