get_image.php.jpgHow do you spell hypocrisy? Bogota (New Jersey, not Colombia) Mayor Steve Lonegan. He’s come down hard on undocumented workers in his city but he had no problem using undocumented labor to build yard signs. Of course, he’s trying to spin the issue, saying the incident is minor and that it just goes to show how hard it is to verify the status of workers.

The workers, who were interviewed on Univision yesterday, said that Lonegan knew they were undocumented workers.

It’s not clear if Lonegan paid the workers a legal wage.

Greed trumps ethics and morality everytime! I am curious to know exactly how much he actually saved by hiring those workers; I am willing to be that it was not all that much.
