Local politician … a member of town council but also a character that just hung onto any and all political positions related to local politics. He never did much expect make money for himself. If he didn’t get on council, he would try for mayor, and if he got neither, Financial Controller, Administrator, Manager, whatever, as long as it was with the town. He was in essence a salesman because he could talk circles around most people with political language and a bit of education, especially when he dealt with the uneducated or gullible people. It was basically his entire career and he’s well on his way to retiring after having done nothing for anyone else or the town.
