The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Orlando: Bloomberg and Joyce using YOUR tax dollars to pay for campaign against guns.

Just read an article in The Orlando Sentinel, indicating that Mayor Buddy Dyer has hired a staffer whose salary is to be paid by a $75,000 grant from Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Her job will be to coordinate city efforts against "illegal guns."

She previously worked directly for MAIG, and still has lobbying duties as a MAIG regional coordinator in Tallahassee.

Theoretically, she is not allowed to lobby during hours when she is theoretically being paid to work for Orlando. In reality, I'm not quite sure how they intend to differentiate.

Part of her parallel duties will apparently involve trying to recruit more Florida mayors to join MAIG.

Any Orlando TFLers might want to look into this, and join efforts in the area to challenge her appointment.
