The largest monthly tax-payer funded haul for local Kiducrat spokesman Matthew Cunningham seems to be January 2010, when he racked up an impressive $10,840 to wordsmith and social network as a PR shill for the big-government OC Children and Families Commission. Click on the document below to see what a “conservative” Republican wordsmith does for a living – apart from writing op-ed pieces for liberal Democrats.
My favorite line item is the last one – a blanket $800 charged for “account management” for the month, whatever that may entail. Say what? You mean the folks in charge bought into that baloney? Oh that’s right – nobody seems to be in charge at all.
But hey! It’s all about the kids, right?

Look, I’m no fan of Mr. Cunningham’s, but to criticize something like charging for “account management” is really just plain silly…and it’s making you look more than a bit ignorant. Consultants, and companies like advertising agencies, charge for exactly the same thing all the time. It’s what companies charge for managing an “account”…get it? Or have you ever heard of being on retainer? Similar idea. There’s really nothing extraordinary or nefarious about it.
Yeah sure, whatever you say.
Tony,
You owe me Five bills for Account management, But I’ll take a Stella at Roscoes!
Isn’t there a competitive bid process for this position? There invariably exists a more qualified and inexpensive company to do the job!
