Recently I posted about a CNN study that said Social Work the most stressful underpaid job in America. Yet these dedicated individuals continue to offer help to those most in need.
Still, Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine said the following regarding Governor Strickland’s selection of Yvette McGee Brown for Lieutenant Governor.
He’s had nearly a year to make this selection, and the best he could come up with in the face of an unprecedented fiscal emergency is a social worker with no experience in public finance or state government.
It is a cheap political shot that demeans an honorable profession whose sole purpose is to help.
Anyone who knows Yvette McGee Brown is aware that she is a talented committed citizen. To try and taint her with the moniker of social worker is an honor not a liability.
With a General Assembly that is filled with businessmen and lawyers who helped create this fiscal catastrophe, maybe it’s time we looked outside the box and added legislators who actually understand the needs of average Americans.
GREAT points – only sorry I didn’t think of them first – I remember that entry you posted re: the stress of the profession. Where exactly was “head of state political party” on the list of how professions rank in terms of stress?
