In reply to the discussion: The myth that Hillary is a conservative. [View all]Armstead
(47,803 posts)She gets a very small stipend for being an alternate, I can't find the specific figure but it's not enough to be worth mentioning.
Otherwise there is no personal benefit from serving on a commission with the rather humdrum job of managing the logistics of solid waste disposal. If the Sanders operated a hauling firm or something, it might be called corruption.
More importantly, as I pointed out then, this is in no way nefarious. Is Mrs. Sanders precluded from ever dong public service because her husband is a Senator?
Criticizing "cronyism" and using connections and "favoritism" is a VERY slippery slope for the Clintons as an issue. A couple who have earned a combined $190 million (depending on source) after a career of "public service" and getting big bucks for short speeches by Corporations and the Banksters before another run for the WH, and all of the entanglements of the Clinton Foundation.......
And, no I'm not going to get into another back-and-forth over it. Just suggesting some perspective might be helpful in this.
