"How about salary and benefits?"

"$--------, +++++++, and ^^^^^^."

"Oh, really? But not enough. See ya."
 
Policy analyst?

Oh, sure.........I'll analyze yer policy for ya.

Mayor, I hate to break the bad news but we're out of toilet paper. On the upside I finally found a use for your policy.
 
Notice they do not require any understanding of firearms or related law.

That actually be a detractor in this instance - one of the qualifications is:
• Commitment to the coalition's mission and goals.

We know that ANY understanding of firearms or related law and "commitment to the goals" are mutually exclusive

I think that Bloomberg is just using his status as Mayor to help promote this organization. If it is found out that they are using tax dollars I will be furious. Not as furious as the NYC taxpayers though, or as furious as they should be.
