Not *my* Darling

Seth nails it:

The expansion at Bayshore Mall in the suburbs north of Milwaukee is expected to double the mall's workforce from 4,000 to roughly 9,000 employees [. . .]. Wisconsin State Senator Alberta Darling (R-River Hills) called the expansion "a perfect opportunity to match W-2 moms with real jobs." (Two quick thoughts: 1. At least we've moved on from "welfare queens" and 2. Apparently being a mother isn't a real job...someone should relay that info to a sizable portion of Darling's female North Shore constituents.)

Representing two (posh East Side) wards in the city of Milwaukee does not give you the kind of authority to speak on poverty and the unique challenges Milwaukee's central city faces, Senator. So stop it already.
