To Mr. Pitsch: double-dipping is obviously not illegal but it is morally\/ethically corrupt to the core. <\/p>\n<p>In an article appearing in the T.R. today Pitsch stated he worked out a private contract through the Western Arkansas Planning &#038; Development District to work with the Regional Intermodal Transportation Authority (RITA)\u2014another offshoot of the U.N.\u2019s Agenda 21.<\/p>\n<p>Pitsch carved himself out a nice $11,000 per month taxpayer subsidized check, absent daylight, and will receive in addition a check from the Arkansas State Legislature in the amount of $15, 362 per year, accompanied by an annual per diem.  Pitsch, like all legislators, will receive up to $1 million at the end of a legislative session to disperse as they see fit, i.e. buy votes. Just exactly what does Pitsch do to earn $11,000 per month from RITA?<\/p>\n<p>What is the connection between WAPDD and RITA\u2014both burgeoning operations &#038; weighting down middleclass taxpayers. <\/p>\n<p>Pitsch will spend a good part of \u00bd year languishing in Little Rock at the State Capital, apart from his alleged day job.  Will Pitsch receive an $11,000 per month check while he is residing in the state\u2019s capital?  Furthermore; the very real troubling aspect that Pitsch is involved in, simply stated, who will he represent\u2014big government\/corporate Arkansas or Arkansas middleclass citizens? Where do you think his allegiance lies? The answer is obvious.<\/p>\n<p>As stated before, many if not most of the members of the Arkansas Legislature are joined inextricably at the hip (double-dippers) with city, county, state and federal governments, and some have no real job at all except state government which was designed to be a part-time job.<\/p>\n<p>Government is not about public service, it\u2019s all about self-service and Representative elect Mat Pitsch is more than ready to do the bidding of government.<\/p>\n<p>Never do we hear of a politician or bureaucrat, in this case Mat Pitsch, leading the charge for protection of middleclass Arkansans\/Americans, just nebulous bantering.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, voters will break out of their malaise and quit worshiping at the altar of, in many cases criminally corrupt, and in all cases morally &#038; ethically corrupt Democrat &#038; Republican Parties\u2026Observe!<\/p>\n<p>Joe McCutchen<br \/>\narkansasfreedom.net  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT A DEAL!
