Where Dollar gets his dollars

Do we want political consultants running our government? We got one: Rep. Nelson Dollar, the chief House budget writer.

The N&O reported: “Dollar, 54, is a longtime political and public relations consultant who helps coordinate campaigns for fellow House Republicans and other GOP candidates. His firm, J. N. Dollar & Associates, booked nearly $150,000 of work for the N.C. Republican Party in the last election cycle, according to reports filed with the State Board of Elections.”

In other words, Dollar makes a living consulting for politicians he serves with.

Any ethical issues here?

For my part, I’ve known a lot of political consultants and a lot of politicians. Some of the consultants would be a big improvement.
