Ch J Maurice B (“Mighty Mo”) Foley echoes the cry of a failed mayoral and gubernatorial candidate from Our Fair City in his budget justification message to the Crosstown Crew Under the Dome. Ch J Mighty Mo wants more of our money “because reasons,” as my granddaughters say.

The first thing he mentions is the 4% rent increase the General Services Administration wants The Glasshouse Gang to stump up for continued occupancy. Then there are salaries and benefits for the nineteen (count ‘em, nineteen) Presidentially-appointed judges. Finally, the technological infrastricture. No, that’s not a typo, I meant technological infrastricture, the inability to access documents via PACER, and the filing process generally.

I hope Ch J Mighty Mo gets every penny, and “goes down justified,” as a much higher authority put it. But bar the rent increase. Jimmy MacMillan said it all.
