kim davis can still collect her $80,000 paycheck for sitting at home

Kentucky clerk Kim Davis can collect a paycheck for the days she spent in jail and the week she is spending at home, resting and reading hundreds of letters from her fans.

Elected officials in Kentucky get paid whether they work or not. The state auditor's office confirmed that officials don't accumulate vacation, sick, or comp time.

Davis draws a salary of $80,000

know by now the grifter politicians that literally latched on to you are using you.

Unless that is what you want, then go for it and keep on also embarrassing the GOP.

I think one reason the GOP have 17 clowns running is so they can spread out the entertainment across the nation more evenly and freauently, posing as an election "campaign".

Are you voter folks not entertained? Vote for the party of entertainment!

and they can save $80,000 by getting rid of her. With the average FAMILY INCOME in her county being $35,000, I'm sure voters are waking up!

Here's your useless bureaucrat living high on the hog off your hard-earned tax dollars, Republicans. What are you going to do about it?

about being lazy (Yes, I know she claims she's a Democrat. However anyone that is that bigoted should be thrown out of the party on their ass). It is the Christians and right-wing that are egging her on.

Who does she work for?

(Yeah I know, she works for the citizens of Rowan County, but who does she really report to?)

Let's say she fires all the clerks (except her son), and Bunning puts her and her son in jail.

Who then names the replacements? County commissioner?
