During the charter debates in the afternoon session today, County Commissioner Jean Monestime did not want to be banned from outside employment because he reflected on that he could make $200,000 in his business and it wasn't fair to be expected to give that up.
The Reality: Jean Monestime's net worth is $79,500.
He has two sources of income. On one he lost $14,000 and on the other he made $3,900 according to his Jan. 5th financial report.
Why the hell is he worried about being banned from outside employment? With perks, the county salary that was being considered would give him between $125,000 to $140,000 a year. Does he have a promise of a cushy job from some lobbyist?
And, greedy Barbara Jordan said that $92,097 plus perks wasn't enough. That they could make more privately. Barbara you don't have to give up that rental income or that pension you already have, what the hell are you talking about? Hey, County Commissioners I looked at all your financial reports. Only one of you is making more but with perks from the county, such as car allowances, health insurance and pensions, it is more than any of them earn now.
I had to stop watching the meeting I was ready to vomit at the greedy behavior.

Good god..no one is forcing anyone to be a county commissioner. These 2 missed the boat. So few people understand what "serve" was intended to mean.
