Revolvoleth
Something reminded me of Mary Verner, former mayor of Spokane.
Her career has been interesting and contradictory.
As mayor here she served Deplorables well, improving our neighborhoods and defending police against the Insatiable demons of "both" "parties". Thanks!
She failed in the 2006 Valley View fire, and again in the 2009 supersnow. Obvious diagnosis: Good at administration, not good in emergencies.
Later she served as Emergency Coordinator of the state Destroyer of Natural Resources, where she unsurprisingly failed again in the 2015 wildfires. She left that job and now serves as an administrator for the city of Olympia. Finally using her best skills instead of her worst skills.
This morning I noticed a brief step in her career that shows a broader tendency.
She also worked as CEO of Spokane Tribal Enterprises, a group of businesses owned by the Spokane Tribe.
She's not Injun, so it's not an ethnically natural position.... but it is a classic revolving door placement. After mayoring in the tribe's captive town, take a job as rainmaker for the tribe's own offices.
In DC the revolving door moves government officials in and out of the Goldman tribe that controls DC. In Spokane the revolving door moves government officials in and out of the Injun tribe that controls Spokane.
Revolvoleth. You can tell which tribe controls a governmental entity by observing which tribal door is revolving.
